4-2 Messages and Troubleshooting
Some messages may appear on the LCD screen or in the view
fi
nder during operation. If a message
appears, check the following, and then perform the appropriate action, according to the message
content:
1) Is the disc bottom/surface reversed when using a single-sided BD/DVD?
If so, reload the disc properly.
2) Is there any condensation on the lens or in the BD drive unit, HDD of camcorder?
Condensation will occur when the camcorder is moved from a cold place to a warm place, e.g. If condensa-
tion occurs, set the power switch to “OFF” with the BD/DVD loaded, and then leave the camcorder in a
dry place until condensation disappears (for 1-2 or more hours).
