LCD screen

Menu items are grayed out.

You cannot select grayed out items in the current recording/playback situation. There are some functions you cannot activate simultaneously.

The buttons do not appear on the LCD screen.

Operate the multi-selector.

The buttons on the LCD screen quickly disappear.

If you set [Display Setting] to [On], the buttons do not disappear from the LCD screen while in recording mode. [Details]

There are dots in the shape of a grid on the LCD screen.

These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process of the screen and do not affect the shooting in any way.

The backlight of the LCD screen turns off if you do not attempt to operate your camcorder a short while after starting recording.

In the default setting, the backlight of the LCD screen dims automatically if you do not attempt to operate your camcorder for more than about 3 seconds ([Auto Monitor Off]). [Details]
