Often if you are having the problem you describe you need a full cleaning. Often tape head cleaners are not able to clean a clogged head.
I would take it in to a shop for cleaning.

These type of problems usually result from damage to the tape transport mechanism, Unfortunately they are impossible to fully diagnose without a physical examination of the mechanism.
There is not a magic tweak for this i'm afraid.
Wish i could be more help

The problem here is condensation inside the camera. I leave the camera turned off, remove the cassette tape and then point a hair drier on warm or low heat and slow speed right into the innards of the camera through the open cassette tape door. I run the hair dryer for 5 minutes and then replace the cassette. If the camera still dosen't work just wait for another 5 or 10 minutes and then it will work OK.

I had this same problem. At my wedding, and didn't get to record it because of it. When I got home I put a new tape in and worked fine. It was just a bad tape.

Panasonic owner manual says a IEEE1394 firewire will allow for longer recordings.

I suggest you run it thru/into a VCR with a DVR Recording platform

try changing the autotimer in the Menu Screen.

The camera will continue to work until the battery gets too low to charge the camera. You will be given a few warnings before the camera will turn off. When the battery can no longer run the camera, it will turn off and some information may not be saved.
