Bright, crystal-shaped spots appear in the LCD monitor and the viewfinder.

Sunlight is directly entering the lens. This is not a defect of the camcorder.

The rear of the LCD monitor is hot.

The light used to illuminate the LCD monitor causes it to be hot. Close the LCD monitor to turn it off or set the power switch to OFF, and let the unit cool down.

Colored bright spots appear all over the LCD monitor.

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

The Lens Cover Warning indicator may blink when the camcorder is used in dark areas, regardless of the position of the Lens Cover.

The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and clock battery; and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
