RCA CC6394 Rear of the LCD monitor is hot, LCD monitor, the viewfinder and the lens are dirty

Other Information

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 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 in the viewfinder. These spots are not recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of the unit.

The icons and the picture color 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, the viewfinder and the lens are dirty.

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.

An error number (i.e. E03) appears.

Turn the camcorder’s power off, then disconnect the power source. After a few minutes, try turning the power on again.

The image is out of focus.

The eyepiece focus control needs to be adjusted (see page 29).

The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation of Auto Focus (see page 85).

Even though the lens cap is detached, the LENS CAP warning icon (see page 31) blinks.

The LENS CAP warning icon may blink when the camcorder is used in dark areas, regardless of whether the lens cap is attached or detached.
