Adjusting the image during recording
Symptom Explanation/Solution
Focus does not adjust automatically.
• Set “Focus” to “Auto.” page 69
• The recording conditions are not suitable for auto focus.
Adjust the focus manually. page 69
• The lens is dusty on the surface. Clear the lens and check the focus.
• Recording is being made in a dark location.
Use a light to brighten the area.
The image appears too bright or flickering,
or changes in colour.
• This may occur when you make a recording under a fluorescent sodium or mercury
lamp. Cancel “iSCENE” to avoid or minimize this phenomenon.

The subject may appear bent when
passing through the frame quickly.
• This is called the focal plane phenomenon. This is not a malfunction. Because
of the way the image device (CMOS sensor) reads out video signals, the subject
passing by the frame rapidly may appear to bend, depending on the recording
condition.
