The tape won’t eject.

Some functions are not available.

Vertical white lines appear when shooting a very bright object.

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

The rear of the LCD monitor is hot.

Coloured bright spots appear all over the LCD monitor.

The indicators and the picture colour on the LCD monitor are not clear.

The LCD monitor, the viewfinder and the lens have become dirty (ex. fingerprints).

An error number (i.e. E03) appears in the LCD monitor or the view- finder.

The image is out of focus.

A character generator title and the date and time displays disappear from the LCD monitor or the viewfinder.

The wrong date and time are displayed/recorded.

Even though the Lens Cover is open, the Lens Cover Warning indicator blinks.

●The battery pack is running low.

●If the LCD monitor is not open over 45 degrees, EJECT switch does not function.

●The PROGRAM AE select dial is set to “AUTO LOCK”.

●This sometimes occurs when the contrast between the background and the object is great. It is not a defect of the camcorder.

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

●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.

●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 %.)

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

●Wipe them gently with soft cloth. Gently wipe the LCD monitor in a semicircle because wiping strongly spreads the stain and it won’t come out easily.

●Turn the camcorder’s power off, then disconnect the power source. After a few minutes, try turning the power on again. If the error number still appears in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

●The dioptre needs to be adjusted (☞ pg. 6).

●The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation of Auto Focus (☞ pg. 18).

●If you remove the power source from the camcorder while the power is on, all settings and selections are erased. Make sure to turn the camcorder’s power off before disconnecting the power source.

●If you have not performed Date/Time Setting (☞ pg. 7), the date and time are not displayed/recorded correctly. Be sure that Date/Time setting is carried out.

●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.
