Adjusting the image during recording

108

Symptom

Focus does not adjust automatically.

The image appears too bright, flickers, or changes color.

Image’s color balance is not natural.

A subject passing quickly through the frame appears distorted

Explanation/Solution

Set “Focus” to “Auto.” page 59

The recording conditions are not suitable for auto focus. Adjust the focus manually. page 59

The lens is dusty on the surface. Clean the lens and check the focus.

Recording is being made in a dark location. Use a light to brighten the area.

This may occur when you make a recording under a fluorescent sodium, or mercury lamp. Cancel “SCENE” to avoid or minimize this phenomenon. page 53

The white balance is incorrect. Set the proper “White Balance.” page 55

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, a subject passing through a frame rapidly may appear to bend, depending on the recording conditions.
