Avertical stripe appears when you
shoot a bright subject
against a dark background.
(candle flame, for example)
The LCD image is poor.
The image in the viewfinder is
blurred.
The tape does not move when you
press the Play, Fast Forward or
Rewind buttons.
The picture does not appear in the
viewfinder.
There is no sound from the
SPEAKER when playing back
the tape.
The Date Time or Title disappeared
even though you had it set.
Explanation/Solution
◆ The contrast between the subject and the background is too great for
the camcorder to operate normally. Make the background bright to
reduce the contrast or use the BLC function while you are shooting.
(see page 37)
◆ It is recommended that you use the VIEWFINDER when shooting in
bright sunlight. (see page 7)
◆ Adjust the LCD (see page 26)
◆
The viewfinder lens has not been adjusted.
Turn the viewfinder focus ring until the screen comes into
sharp focus. (see page 27)
◆ Set the POWER switch to PLAYER.
◆ You have reached the beginning or end of the cassette.
◆ The LCD display is open.
◆ Make sure the SPEAKER is ON. (see page 56)
◆ The lithium battery is not installed or is fully used up. (see page 17)
