Panasonic PV-GS1 ~ Shooting Problems

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi Guys,
I'm using a Panasonic PV-GS150 Camcorder.
After looking at my 'footage' :

1) Why the images on my LCD look, in term of light, OK but looking at
the same footage on a TV screen (connected to my Camera) they look much
much darker ?
(I was freeking out when I saw it)

2) There seem to be an 'adjustement period' moving betwen different
areas with different lightning. For example, if I'm shooting outdoor
in an area with a lot of light and then going into a more shady/darker
area, then looking at my footage afterwords, there are a few secounds
where the camera 'adjust to the new lights' is there anything I can
do to make the transition seamless ?

Thank you so much for your time. Any help or refering to other
resources will be very helpful.

Be well,
~ Grace

This one got me too. If this is the same as mine, there should be a green
light on the LCD screen (right next to the latch that opens the LCD door).
This is actually a button that brightens the LCD screen (for daylight
viewing). Push that button until the green light goes off and the screen
should darken considerably.
