SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
OTHER
The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio,
etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit
(battery pack, AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and clock battery; and then re-connect it and
proceed as usual from the beginning.
The tape won’t 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.
Coloured bright spots appear all
over the LCD monitor.
The indicators and the picture
colour on the LCD monitor are not
clear.
The LCD monitor, the viewfinder
and the lens have become dirty (ex.
fingerprints).
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.
● The battery pack is running low.
● If the LCD monitor is not open over 45 degrees, EJECT
switch does not function.
● The Select Dial is set to “AUTO LOCK”.
● 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 is made with high-precision technology.
However, black spots or bright spots of light (red, green or
blue) may appear constantly on the LCD monitor. 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 soft cloth. Gently wipe the LCD
monitor in a semicircle because wiping strongly spreads the
stain and it won’t come out easily.
● 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, consult your
nearest JVC dealer.
● The dioptre needs to be adjusted (੬ pg. 10).
● The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation
of Auto Focus (੬ pg. 30).
● 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 (੬ pg. 7), 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.
