Troubleshooting

Symptom

A vertical stripe appears
when you record a bright
subject against a dark
background (candle flame,
for example).

The image quality on the
LCD is poor.

The image in the viewfinder
is blurred.

The tape does not move
when you press the Play,
Fast Forward or Rewind
buttons.

The picture does not appear
in the viewfinder.

There is no sound from the
SPEAKER when playing
back the tape.

The Date/Time or Title
disappeared even though
you had it set.

Explanation/Solution

◆

The contrast between the subject and the background is too
great for the camcorder to operate normally. Make the
background bright to reduce the contrast or use the
BLC function while you are recording. (see page 37)

◆

The use of VIEWFINDER is recommended when recording
under sunlight. (see page 7)

◆

Adjust the LCD. (see page 26)

◆

The viewfinder lens has not been adjusted.
Turn the viewfinder focus ring until the screen comes into sharp
focus. (see page 27)

◆

Set the POWER switch to PLAYER.

◆

You have reached the beginning or end of the cassette.

◆

The LCD Screen is opened.

◆

Make sure the SPEAKER is ON. (see page 56)

◆

The lithium battery is not installed or is fully used up.
