Characteristics of CCD Sensors
The following effects may appear in the image. They
are characteristic of cameras using CCDs (charge-
coupled devices), and do not indicate a malfunction.
Vertical smear
When shooting a very bright object, such as a light, the
highlight tends to produce vertical tails. This effect is
much reduced in this camera.
White flecks
If the camera is operated at a high temperature, white
flecks may appear in the image.

Warning Indications
If a fault occurs during operation, a warning is given
by the REC/TALLY and BATT indicators in the
viewfinder and the tally lamp lighting or flashing, and
also by warning indications on the viewfinder screen.
When you are using a DSR-1/1P or PVV-3/3P, the
WARNING indicator on the VTR also lights or
flashes, and warning indications appear in the display
window. There is also a warning tone in the earphone.
