Remarks, etc.

For Recording Check, the Movie Camera must be in the same mode (SP or LP) as used for recording, otherwise the playback picture is distorted.

The noise bars may appear when switching from Recording Pause to the last recorded scene.

If the Recording Speed Mode (SP/LP) of the previous and the new recording are different, the playback picture may be distorted.

The sky may appear whitish.

When recording with the sun striking the subject at an angle, star-shaped light reflections may be recorded in the picture.

When recording a subject in front of a very bright background, the subject may still appear dark in the picture.

In some cases, the subject may look clear, but the background may be overexposed (almost completely white). However, this is normal and not a malfunction.
