Troubleshooting (Continued)
There is a time difference between the point when the START/STOP button is
pressed and the point that the recording movie actually starts or stops.
• On your camcorder, there may be a slight time difference between the point where you press
the START/STOP button and the actual point that recording movie starts/stops. This is not a
malfunction.
The aspect ratio (16:9 (wide)/4:3) cannot be changed.
• When recording at a setting other than DV, the aspect ratio of the movie cannot be changed.
Automatic focus does not function.
• Set the focus to "AUTO" to enable the automatic focus function (p. 33).
• Adjust the focus manually if the automatic focus does not work properly (p. 33).
Menu items are grayed out or do not work.
• You cannot select grayed out display items in the current recording/playback situation.
• There are some functions you cannot activate simultaneously. The following list shows
examples of unworkable combinations of functions and menu items.
Cannot use
(menu disabled)
[ON/OFF] of [AE SHIFT]
[ZEBRA], [PEAKING]
[ON/OFF] of [MARKER]
[TC PRESET]
[COLOR BAR]
Iris, gain, shutter speed, or white balance cannot be adjusted manually.
• Press the FULL AUTO button to set auto mode off.
Tiny spots in white, red, blue, or green appear on the LCD screen.
• This phenomenon appears when using a slow shutter speed (p. 39). This is not a malfunction.
The subjects passing by the frame very fast appear crooked.
• This is called focal plane phenomenon. This is not a malfunction. Because of the way that the
image device (CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the subjects passing by the frame
rapidly might appear crooked depending on the recording conditions.
Horizontal stripes appear on the image.
• This occurs when recording pictures under a fluorescent lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury
lamp. This is not a malfunction. This can be improved by changing the shutter speed (p. 39).
