Some subjects are not suitable for autofocus. In these situations, you will often

about the same distance away, lock the focus, and then point the camera at your
original, hard-to-focus subject.
Horizontal stripes Many subjects at
different distances
Behind glass Without much
contrast (e.g. a
white wall)

Cause and/or what to do about it
There are a number of restrictions on
using the digital effects ( 57-64).
The POWER dial is not set to PLAY
(MV4i and MV4i MC: VCR)
( 23).
The cassette is not loaded ( 12).
The cassette has reached the end.
When recording in dark places a
bright light in the scene may cause a
vertical light bar (smear) to appear.
This is a normal feature of
camcorders.
