TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.)
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio,
etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit
(battery pack, AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and clock battery; and then re-connect it and
proceed as usual from the beginning.
OTHER
The tape won’t eject.
Some functions are not available.
Vertical white lines appear when
shooting a very bright object.
Bright, crystal-shaped spots appear
in the viewfinder.
The picture is blurred in the Quick
Review or Retake mode.
An error number (E03) appears in
the viewfinder.
The image is out of focus.
A character generator title and the
date and time displays disappear
from the viewfinder.
Even though the Lens Cover is open,
the Lens Cover Warning indicator
blinks.
●
The battery pack is running low.
●
The Shooting Mode selector is set to “FULL AUTO“.
●
This sometimes occurs when the contrast between the
background and the object is great. It is not a defect of
the camcorder.
●
Sunlight is directly entering the lens.
●
This is normal while recording in the EP mode. Some noise
may be present while recording in the SP mode (
Z
pg. 13).
●
Turn the camcorder’s power off, then disconnect the
power source. After a few minutes, try turning the power
on again. If the error number still appears in the
viewfinder, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
●
The diopter needs to be adjusted (
Z
pg. 10).
●
The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation
of Auto Focus (
Z
pg. 24).
●
Shift Zoom (
Z
pg. 17) is in use. Beyond the optical zoom
limit, magnification is achieved through digital
processing. This will cause the image to look as though
it’s out of focus.
●
If you remove the power source from the camcorder while
the power is on, all settings and selections are erased.
Make sure to turn the camcorder’s power off before
disconnecting the power source.
●
The Lens Cover Warning indicator may blink when the
camcorder is used in dark areas, regardless of the position
of the Lens Cover.
