The Black & White Fader does not work.

•The Sepia or Monotone mode is activated. ¥ Turn off Sepia and Monotone ( pg. 23).

The image looks like the shutter speed is too

slow.

•When shooting in the dark, the unit becomes highly sensitive to light when “GAIN UP” is set to “AUTO” in the Menu Screen.

¥If you want the lighting to look more natural, set

“GAIN UP” to “AGC” or “OFF” in the Menu Screen ( pg. 29).

White Balance cannot be activated.

•The Sepia or Monotone mode is activated.

¥Turn off Sepia or Monotone before setting White Balance ( pg. 23, 27).

When shooting a subject illuminated by bright

light, vertical lines appear.

•This is a result of exceedingly high contrast, and is not a malfunction.

When the screen is under direct sunlight during shooting, the screen becomes red or black for an instant.

•This is not a malfunction.

The date/time does not appear.

•“DATE/TIME” is set to “OFF” in the Menu Screen.

Images on the LCD monitor appear dark or

whitish.

•In places subject to low temperature, images become dark due to the characteristics of the LCD monitor. When this happens, the displayed colours differ from those that are actually recorded. This is not a defect of the camcorder.

•When the LCD monitor's fluorescent light reaches the end of its service life, images on the LCD monitor become dark. Consult your nearest JVC dealer.

¥Adjust the brightness and angle of the LCD monitor ( pg. 12).

The rear of the LCD monitor is hot.

•The light used to illuminate the LCD monitor causes it to become hot.

¥Close the LCD monitor to turn it off or set the Power Switch u to “OFF (CHARGE)”, and let the unit cool down.

The indicators and the image colour on the

LCD monitor are not clear.

•This may occur when the surface or the edge of the LCD monitor is pressed.

The LCD monitor or viewfinder indications blink.

•Certain Fade/Wipe effects, certain modes of Programme AE with special effects, “DIS” and other functions that cannot be used together are selected at the same time.

¥Re-read the sections covering Fade/Wipe effects,

Programme AE with special effects and “DIS” ( pg. 23, 24, 29).

Coloured bright spots appear all over the LCD

monitor or the viewfinder.

•The LCD monitor and the viewfinder are made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly on the LCD monitor or the viewfinder. These spots are not recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of the unit. (Effective dots: more than 99.99 %)

During recording, sound cannot be heard.

•This is normal.

Play, Rewind and Fast-Forward functions do

not work.

• The Power Switch u is set to “ ” or “ ”.

¥Set the Power Switch u to “PLAY” ( pg. 14).
