20 Most Recent Panasonic NV-GS15 Mini DV Digital Camcorder - Page 5 Questions & Answers

Hi,

A computer with Vista or Windows prof. and an firewire input on the computer will activate Windows mediaplayer and this program can render it and burn to an DVD writer


regards Rob NL

The symptom appears to be video head clogging. I would first try to use head cleaning tape. (use new one). Run the cleaning tape for about 10 seconds but not more and see if it resolve the problem. If not, camcorder need a tracking adjustment by a technician. Good Luck. James. For further assistance, go to www.camerarepairjapan.com

You can try VideoStudio version 9, I use this for all my video capture and the quality is perfect but you have to have a huge capacity hard disc if you want a very exceptional video quality. By the way, my sister gave me a camera like yours just last month but she lost the CD, just want to have a favor.... if you could send me a full copy of the CD for the NV GS 15. my email address is [email protected]. Thanks in advance.

I fixed 2 cameras with same problem "Push Reset Switch"
Removed small foreign plastic object which was jamming mechanism without stripping.
In both cases a very tiny piece of one of the broken plastic 'catch' of the door was the problem.
Turn unit upside down and give it a good shake-up and it will drop off & problem solved.
Hope this helps.

Use USB data cable which u get with ur cam.Install the panasonic software also packed with cam.And get ur video copied to pc.But this is a slow process because of Movie copied while playing.

Solution A: make sure you are using the correct cable for what you are doing (eg USB for webcam and importing photos and Firewire for transferring video footage

most desktops have firewire plug in them but laptops don't usually

to get a firewire plug in a laptop you need a PCMCIA to Firewire Cardbus (ask your local retail store for one or buy one on ebay etc.)

after that put the cardbus in your PCMCIA slot and restart

then go to Windows Movie Maker and press "capture from video device"


hope this helps!

open movie maker software and press caputre button

i have same problem i took it to the authorize panasonic center they said due to static dischagre the usb motherboard inside the camera has to be replaced costing 7000 Rs (90 US $ Dollars).

i know exactly whats your problem because i experienced that myself and i figured out the cause of it. what you gonna do is format your OS like windows xp sp1 and after that install the cd driver again camed from your camcorder. it should fix your problem after that. this is what happen to my camcorder and my pc because everytime i put my cam with the use of usb my computer starts too. so after i format my computer and did the same thing,it finally works! hope this helps!

U get usb cable and a software cd with ur cam.Install the software and attach ur cam to pc with the help of USB cable and get ur movies copied from cam to pc

You need a software program to do it with. Pinnacle Systems Studio software will work. Once the camera is connected to your pc and turned on a screen will appear asking you to use the program.

Do you have a replacement cord between your tv and camcorder that you can try?

There probably is a short in the yellow cord causing the picture to go to B & W.

I am pleased to say that my good lady wife, of 49 years standing, 'fixed' the problem ~ not once, but twice. Pat has always managed to solve such problems, and this time she was fiddling inside the compartment near the camera 'on/off' switch and, Hey Presto!, the camera now works satisfactorily. I attribute her prowess in solving small mechanical problems to a woman's intuition. I just wish I could be more precise on her success.

A: try a new video tape

B:
try giving your camcorder a few light taps (or not so light, just don't break it) and then turn it off and then on again

this sometimes helps in my experience but it is not a permanent fix and I suggest buying a new camera as soon as possible

C: Somone said that leaving the camera plugged into AC for 20 minutes or so will fix it, I have tried this myself and it MIGHT have worked (I have used it a few times without any problems but that has happened before

There is no option to detect ur camera in laptop.... in order to capture the videos to laptop you must buy a capture card

This is as far as I get on the Panasonic support website for drivers:

http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Cameras-Camcorders/Camcorders/MiniDV-Camcorders.list.75493

I didn't see your specific model number listed.

You might want to e-mail support at Panasonic and see how youre supposed to get them.

If you plug it into the wall, does it do the same thing?

If it does you should take it into a camera store to see whats going on with it.

A DV cable is required only if your camera is having a DV port, without which it is not possible to transfer the movies. only way is getting it done from outside professionals.
