Images on the LCD monitor appear dark or whitish.
� In places subject to low temperature, images become dark due to the characteristics of the LCD monitor. When this happens, the displayed colours differ from those that are actually recorded.

Consult your nearest JVC dealer. ¥ Adjust the brightness and angle of the LCD monitor ( pg. 12).
Scene transition does not go as expected.
