Troubleshooting (Continued)
The subjects passing by the frame very fast appear crooked.
• This is called the focal plane phenomenon. This is not a malfunction. Because of the way that
the image device (CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the subjects passing by the frame
rapidly might appear crooked depending on the recording conditions.
The screen picture is bright, and the subject does not appear on the screen.
• Set [BACK LIGHT] to [OFF].
• Set [HYPER GAIN] to [OFF].
The screen picture is dark, and the subject does not appear on the screen.
• Press and hold the DISPLAY button for a few seconds to turn on the backlight (p. 19).
Horizontal stripes appear on the image.
• This occurs when recording pictures under a fluorescent lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury
lamp. This is not a malfunction. This can be improved by changing the shutter speed (p. 33).
Black bands appear when you record a TV screen or computer screen.
• This can be improved by adjusting the shutter speed in the ECS mode (p. 33).
The beginning of the recording looks dark when the video light comes on
linked to the start of movie recording (when the LIGHT MAN/AUTO switch is set
to AUTO).
• The light volume may not be stable immediately after the light comes on.
• The light does not come on during data writing in the cache memory of an external recording
unit.
• Set the LIGHT MAN/AUTO switch to MAN and turn on the light before recording starts.
The video light does not come on.
• Set the video light switch to ON.
• The video light does not come on during the following kinds of recording when the LIGHT
MAN/AUTO switch is set to AUTO:
–DV frame recording
–Smooth slow recording
–Interval recording
–Recording by a VCR
Fine patterns flicker, diagonal lines look jagged.
• Adjust [DETAIL] to [0] side (p. 42).
