I have never not once, not been able to get any device, printer or program to install using compatibility mode. That is what this is for. Now before you go download the app and drivers for it, check if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit operating system. This is what compatibility mode is for and has been for since the first versions of windows OS's. I have got about I failed to mention I also own a Dell wt a 2nd gen I-7 quad core processor 2. That said New question is would I be bettter off installing Panny's software and it's USB driver to the desktop ??
If I remember it has an XP mode which the camcorder was originally designed to interface and included the required driver to operate in XP or Win Am I onto something or just delerious???
Obviously, I'm no whiz kid on theses interfaces, but would sure love to overcome this obstacle and really appreciate your collective input.
Yes, I would install connecting to USB 2. As for the fire wire, just install that device through your firewire and adapter 4 to 6 pin and install the software and drivers for the compatibility it is for.
Mikey G It has a DV output as well as a 2. What default settings will enable my computer to access the camcorder's interface. What would I need to configure in order to complete the copy of these tapes?? Thank You in advance for any help!! This thread is locked. Advanced offers picture quality, picture size, O. Language pretty much speaks for itself, literally. In digital still mode, the basic set is identical, advanced is limited to O.
The PV-GS should fill your camera bag reasonably with its It would be wise to purchase a medium size camcorder bag with enough zip pockets to hold extra tapes, batteries, and other accessories.
In that case, throw it in a backpack next time you head to the movies along with your smuggled store-bought candy. The PV-GS features a 2. For two-handed shooters, this will be difficult to deal with. An optional zoom control would have aided those who cannot or choose not to master the art of the vexing slider.
Keep an eye on the LCD during transport. Pressing the center of the joystick will bring up that miniature playback menu. To access the full playback menu, press the menu button. Advanced grants control over record speed, record standby, record data, picture quality, and repeat play.
In digital still playback mode, captured images appear on the LCD or viewfinder initially. Pressing the center of the joystick cues the trusty playback control menu. Shifting the zoom toggle to the left alters the viewing format of captured stills—a screen with up to 6 icons per page appears, allowing you to scroll through each image and select it with the joystick.
The playback administrative menu is accessed by pressing the menu button and includes the same master tabs as video playback. Only this time, the set of options for each tab has changed a bit. The option to protect an image is present in the basic tab, and the advanced tab only consists of DPOF set and card format settings. Setup is identical to the video offerings, except for audio playback and audio out. Panasonic has done a stellar job perplexing us with the placement of the majority of their ports.
Access to these ports can only be granted when the battery is removed from the battery chamber. Say you forget your power supply and need to capture footage on the fly—not going to happen with the PV-GS The battery must charge separately as well, contrary to most camcorders that allow you to connect directly to the camcorder while the battery charges in the chamber. The rear connectivity architecture on the PV-GS is very poor.
The cover snaps into place quickly and efficiently, and is durable enough to support a rough and tumble trip across the country. On top is a cold accessory shoe, but with no mic or headphone jacks, the only purpose the shoe serves is to hold a battery-powered video light or flash, since the PV-GS is devoid of those features also. An SD card slot is located underneath the camcorder, protected by a hinged plastic door.
Continuously removing and replacing a camcorder on a tripod will slowly drive you over the edge. The Multi cable includes an S-Video connection for your old school needs. Editing software must be purchased separately. When the camcorder begins rolling, shots will fade in. Quite dramatic. Because of this, the camcorder can spring back into action in—based on what Panasonic reports—1. When engaged, this control senses if camcorder has been left in the on position while facing downward or upside-down for too long.
If so, it automatically shuts off. However, the price was reduced considerably. This year, Panasonic cranked it up one more notch. They scrapped the flash and relocated most of the ports and terminals within the battery chamber.
So how about that video performance? In our eyes, neither choice is worth buying if you can get your hands on better vintage Panasonic gear. Panasonic has not stopped selling the PV-GS at the time of publishing. This omnipotent MiniDV overlord is packed to the brim with video splendor.
The price tag is ominous. But the reason for our comparison is not price-oriented. To top it all off, the PV-GS performed awesomely in the testing room under bright and low light, and offered an extensive set of manual controls. If you can still locate a PV-GS, grab it while you can. In low light, it trumped all within its price range with minimal noise and an intact grayscale. The PV-GS has some tough competition in the video performance department.
Give this one a serious look before settling for Panasonic. Panasonic has taken out a machete and lopped off a great deal of functionality, technical advancement, and stellar handling traits from its previous PV-GS and PV-GS models. Point-and-shooters will have no problems operating the PV-GS camcorder, thanks to its cheerless simplicity. The lack of a mic jack, headphone jack, flash, video light, LCD panel controls, hot shoe, and control ring hardly qualifies the PV-GS as a feature-rich bargain.
What gives!? Alright, so the PV-GS takes stills at a maximum resolution of x Not bad for a camcorder. But then again, most Sonys within this price range offer much larger still resolutions. The PV-GS is devoid of a flash and a video light. To top it all off, the SD card slot is located on the bottom of the camcorder, requiring the shooter to remove the PV-GS from the tripod in order to swap card.
Photographers and hybrid freaks need not apply. Um, it has a zoom microphone? How about…nah…. Remember the days of the PV-GS with its control ring, image adjust buttons, and bountiful crop of manual controls?
They are long gone, ladies and gentlemen. The PV-GS is a sellout. Those wise enough will quest for a PV-GS There is nothing professional or serious about this camcorder except good quality video, but it takes a few more features to make it a pro back-up camcorder.
The video quality remains, yet all that made the PV-GS great has fallen to cinders. We looked upon its mighty works, and now we despair. In all seriousness, the Panasonic PV-GS has so many flaws and missed features that it's hard to work up a compelling reason to buy it. First of all, the camcorder does not offer a manual focus ring, as indicated by their website.
Secondly, the port placements on the PV-GS are simple nonsensical. Why hide the DC power, USB, and Firewire cables all behind the battery, essentially killing any possibility of using this for field production?
Also, the SD card slot is on the bottom. This is certainly less of an inconvenience than the other ports, but it means that the card cannot be removed it on a tripod. We love the optical image stabilization, which proved to be amazingly effective in our testing, but was it enough?
Not really. These problems, compounded by the crippling loss of features compared to Panasonic MiniDVs of the past focus ring, analog-to-digital pass through, hot shoe, headphone jack, mic jack, etc. Sorry this didn't help.
