Trouble Checks and Adjustments
• Black spots or bright spots of light (red, green, or blue)
might appear on the LCD monitor. These spots are not
recorded on the tape and are not due to a defect in the unit.
• The light used to illuminate the LCD monitor causes it to
be hot. Close the LCD monitor and turn off the camcorder
to let it cool down.
• If battery has not been used for some time, completely
drain the battery’s power and recharge it.
• Battery run times are measured when the camcorder is
recording continuously. You can check your battery by first
fully charging it and then aiming the camcorder at a clock
and recording the picture of the clock. When the recording
stops, play the last recorded section and note the clock
time. A one-hour battery should give you about 60 minutes
of recording time. In practical use, you might not be able
to record for the full time because the camera uses battery
power when it is waiting between recordings (record-
pause) and zooming.
