The actual recording time for movie
is less than the expected
approximate recording time of a
disc.
• Depending on an object, such as a fast
moving object, the time available for
recording may shorten (p. 16).
The recording stops.
• The temperature of your camcorder is
extremely high. Turn off your camcorder
and leave it for a while in a cool place.
• Moisture condensation has occurred with
the disc. Turn off your camcorder and
leave it about 1 hour in a cool place
(p. 110).
There is a time difference between
the point where you press START/
STOP and the point that the
recorded movie starts/stops.
• On your camcorder, there may be a slight
time difference between the point where
you press START/STOP and the actual
point that recording movie starts/stops.
This is not a malfunction.
The movie aspect ratio (16:9/4:3)
cannot be changed.
• You cannot change the aspect ratio when:
– recording movies with HD (high
definition) image quality.
– recording movies on DVD+RW with SD
(standard definition) image quality.
– there is no disc in your camcorder.
The auto focus does not function.
• Set [FOCUS] to [AUTO] (p. 81).
• The recording conditions are not suitable
for auto focus. Adjust the focus manually
(p. 81).

• Set [STEADYSHOT] to [ON] (p. 68).
• [STEADYSHOT] may not be able to
compensate for excessive vibrations.
The BACK LIGHT function does not
function.
• The BACK LIGHT function does not work
during Easy Handycam operation.
The subjects passing by the frame
very fast appear crooked.
• This is called the focal plane phenomenon.
This is not a malfunction. Because of the
way the image device (CMOS sensor)
reads out image signals, the subjects
passing by the frame rapidly might appear
crooked depending on the recording
conditions.
Tiny spots in white, red, blue, or
green appear on the screen.
• The spots appear when you are recording
with [SUPER NIGHTSHOT] or [COLOR
SLOW SHTR]. This is not a malfunction.
The color of the image is not
correctly displayed.
• Set the NIGHTSHOT switch to OFF
(p. 37).
The screen image is bright, and the
subject does not appear on the
screen.
• Set the NIGHTSHOT switch to OFF
(p. 37).
The screen image is dark, and the
