ª
LCD monitor/viewfinder
LCD monitor
≥When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a
dry soft cloth.
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD monitor.
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥If your Camcorder is extremely cold, the LCD
monitor is slightly darker than usual immediately
after you turn the power on. However, as the
internal temperature increases, it goes back to
normal brightness.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD monitor
screen featuring a total of approximately
123,000 pixels. The result is more than
99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of
the pixels inactive or always lit. However,
this is not a malfunction and does not affect
the recorded picture.
Viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the viewfinder screen
featuring a total of approximately 113,000
pixels. The result is more than 99.99%
effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the
pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is
not a malfunction and does not affect the
recorded picture.
ª
Periodical check-ups
≥To maintain the highest image quality, we
recommend replacing worn parts such as heads
after approx. 1000 hours of use. (This, however,
depends on operating conditions including
temperature, humidity and dust.)

ª Automatic white balance
White balance adjustment recognizes the color of
light and adjusts so the white color will become a
pure white. The Camcorder determines the hue of
light that comes through the lens and white
balance sensor, thereby judging the recording
condition, and selects the closest hue setting.
This is called automatic white balance
adjustment. However, since the Camcorder only
stores white color information under several light
sources, automatic white balance adjustment
does not function normally under the other light
sources.
1)
Outside of the effective range of automatic white
balance adjustment, the image will become
reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range
of automatic white balance adjustment, the
automatic white balance adjustment may not
function properly if there is more than one light
source. For light outside the functional auto white
balance adjustment range, use the manual white
balance adjustment mode.
