The brushed silvery and black plastic feels very solid, although the overall weight is about 60g heavier than the SDR-S7.

To maintain its water and dust resistance, the SW20 has much sturdier panels on its ports than a regular camcorder, and each one has a rubber seal. The catches are also quite hard to open accidentally. For similar reasons, there is no accessory shoe either. But the lens itself has no cover, instead being protected by a small window of toughened glass.

This will need regular cleaning if you really do shoot underwater regularly. The SW20 records standard definition video, but at the slightly non-standard resolution of x , rather than the usual x Three levels of compression are available.

The heavily compressed LP mode consumes 2. Video is stored on an SDHC card, although none is supplied so you will need to factor this into the price. This alters the colour settings to compensate for the effect of shooting through water rather than air.

It also filters the audio to counteract noise from the lens control motor during autofocusing, which will be picked up in water due to its greater carrying abilities for high-pitched sound. Being a Panasonic camcorder, the SW20 has a comprehensive set of manual features, readily accessible using the cursor wheel under the LCD panel.

One touch enables manual iris and shutter, and a second one toggles manual focusing as well. Getting a sharp focus manually is a little tricky using the cursor wheel, but the other manual options will be welcome. After servicing, make the following leakage current. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter,. When the exposed metal- lic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1 M.

Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the volt-. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of. The potential at any point should not exceed 0. In case a measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

Some semiconductor solid state devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge ESD. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as alumi-. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices. Use only an antistatic solder removal device.
