Abnormal characters appear on the screen and the camcorder does not operate properly.

fluorescent, mercury or sodium lamps. This is not a malfunction. To reduce the symptoms,
change the

[Flicker Reduction] setting.
Sound is distorted or is recorded at lower levels.
- When recording near loud sounds (such as fireworks, shows or concerts), sound may become
distorted or it may not be recorded at the actual levels. Activate the microphone attenuator
(

There are brief stops in the sound recorded with the optional WM-V1 Wireless Microphone.

wireless communication to occur while recording. Change the position of the LOCK switch.
The picture is displayed correctly but there is no sound from the built-in speaker.
- Speaker volume is turned off. Adjust the volume.
