Checks and Adjustments
• Adjust the volume control on the side of the monitor.
• To hear sound during camcorder playback, use the monitor.
There is no sound during viewfinder playback.
• 16X9 feature selected. See page 31.
• Sunlight is directly entering the lens.
• Black spots or bright spots of light (red, green, or blue) may
appear on the LCD monitor. These spots are not recorded
on the tape and are not due to a defect in the unit.
• The light that illuminates the LCD monitor gets hot. To
cool it down, close the LCD monitor and turn off the
camcorder.
• Lead-acid batteries must be kept charged. Charge your
battery before and after every use and at least every
six months.
• Battery run times are measured when the camcorder is
recording continuously. To check your battery; charge it
completely, aim the camcorder at a clock, and record the
clock. When the camcorder stops recording, play the last
part of the tape and check the time on the clock. A one-
hour battery should give you about 60 minutes of recording
time. In practical use, a fully charged battery might not
record for 60 minutes because the battery uses power when
you pause the recording and uses extra power when you
zoom.
