TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.)
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
� Press DISPLAY for longer than 1 second to make the indications appear ( pg. 17). � The battery pack is running low. � The Power Switch is set to �AUTO�. � Certain combinations of modes or effects are not possible to use. � This sometimes occurs when the contrast between the background and the object is great. It is not a defect of the camcorder. � Sunlight is directly entering the lens. This is not a defect of the camcorder. � The viewfinder is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly in the viewfinder. These spots are not recorded on the tape. This is not due to any defect of the unit. (Effective dots: more than 99.99 %.) � Wipe them gently with a soft cloth. Gently wipe in a semicircular motion, as wiping strongly spreads the stain and it won�t come out easily. � This is normal while recording in the EP mode. Some noise may be present while recording in the SP mode ( pg. 12). � Turn the camcorder�s power off, then disconnect the power source. After a few minutes, try turning the power on again. If the error number still appears in the viewfinder, consult your nearest JVC dealer. � The diopter needs to be adjusted ( pg. 14). � The scene being shot is adversely affecting the operation of Auto Focus ( pg. 30). � If you remove the power source from the camcorder while the power is on, all settings and selections are erased. Make sure to turn the camcorder�s power off before disconnecting the power source. � If you have not performed Date/Time Setting ( pg. 11), the date and time are not displayed/recorded correctly. Be sure that Date/Time setting is carried out. � The Lens Cover Warning indicator may blink when the camcorder is used in dark areas, regardless of the position of the lens cover.
