About the LCD screen
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing direct
sunlight, as this may damage the LCD screen.
• Do not press/swipe the LCD screen forcefully,
or leave objects on the LCD screen, as it may
cause a malfunction, such as picture
irregularity, etc.
• The LCD screen may become warm in use. This
is not a malfunction.
About the stuck pixels
The LCD screen fitted to this unit is manufactured
with high precision technology, giving a
functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a
very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”,
either always off (black), always on (red, green,
or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long
period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These
problems are not a malfunction, and will not be
recorded on recording media.
Note on the display
• Pictures on the LCD screen and viewfinder
screen may be distorted by the following
operations:
—Changing the video format
—Starting playback from the Thumbnail
screen
—Reversing the LCD screen
• When you change the eye direction in the
viewfinder, you may see primary colors red,
green, and blue, but this is not a defect of the
camcorder. These primary colors are not
recorded on any recording media.
Fragmentation
If pictures cannot be recorded/reproduced
properly, try formatting the recording medium.
While repeating picture recording/playback with
a certain recording medium for an extended
period, files in the medium may be fragmented,
disabling proper recording/storage. In such a
case, make a backup of clips in the medium then
perform formatting of the medium using “Format
Media”
