OTHER
During recording, the indications do
not appear.
The tape will not eject.
Some functions are not available.
Vertical white lines appear when
shooting a very bright object.
Bright, crystal-shaped spots appear in
the LCD monitor and the viewfinder.
The rear of the LCD monitor is hot.
Colored bright spots appear all over
the LCD monitor or the viewfinder.
The indicators and the picture color
on the LCD monitor are not clear.
The LCD monitor, the viewfinder and
the lens have become dirty (ex.
fingerprints).
The picture is blurred in the Quick
Review or Retake mode.
An error number (i.e. E03) appears.
The image is out of focus.
The date and time displays
disappear.
The wrong date and time are
displayed/recorded.
Even though the lens cover is open,
the Lens Cover Warning indicator
blinks.
●
Press DISPLAY for longer than 1 second to make the
indications appear (
Z
pg. 17).
●
The battery pack is running low.
●
If the LCD monitor is not open over 60 degrees, the EJECT
Switch does not function.
●
The Power Switch is set to “AUTO”.
●
Certain combinations of modes or effects are not possible
to use.
●
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 not a defect of
the camcorder.
●
The light used to illuminate the LCD monitor causes it to be
hot. Close the LCD monitor to turn it off or set the Power
Switch to “OFF”, and let the unit cool down.
●
The LCD monitor and the viewfinder are made with high-
precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots
of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly on the
LCD monitor or in the viewfinder. These spots are not
recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of the
unit. (Effective dots: more than 99.99 %.)
●
This may occur when the surface or the edge of the LCD
monitor is pressed.
●
Wipe them gently with a soft cloth. Gently wipe in a
semicircular motion, as wiping strongly spreads the stain
and it won’t come out easily.
●
This is normal while recording in the EP mode. Some noise
may be present while recording in the SP mode (
Z
pg. 12).
●
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. 15).
●
The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation of
Auto Focus (
Z
pg. 34).
●
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.
●
If you have not performed Date/Time Setting (
Z
pg. 11),
the date and time are not displayed/recorded correctly. Be
sure that Date/Time setting is carried out.
●
The Lens Cover Warning indicator may blink when the
camcorder is used in dark areas, regardless of the position
of the lens cover.
