Symptom
A vertical strip appears when you
shoot a bright subject against a
dark background. (candle flame,
for example)
The image in the viewfinder is
blurred.
The tape does not move when
you press the play, Fast Forward
or Rewind buttons.
The Date Time or Title disap-
peared 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 35)
◆ The view finder lens has not been adjusted.
Turn the viewfinder focus ring until the screen comes into sharp focus.
(see page 25)
◆ Set the POWER switch to PLAYER.
◆ You have reached the beginning or end of the cassette.
◆ The lithium battery is not installed or is fully used up. (see page 17)
