Information
Problem
? Some/all of the digital effects
do not work.
? The e (play) button does not
work.
? There is a bright stripe on the
screen.
? The playback picture is rough
(with mosaic-like noise).
Note:
• Some subjects are not suitable for autofocus. In these situations, you will
often get better results using manual focus ( 79). Focus on something
which is about the same distance away, lock the focus, and then point the
camcorder at your original, hard-to-focus subject.
Horizontal stripes Many subjects at
different distances
Behind glass Without much
contrast (e.g. a
white wall)
Reflective surfaces
(e.g. shiny car
surfaces)
Fast moving

( 79).
