focus manually. page 70
• The lens is dusty on the surface. Clear the lens and check the
focus.

Balance." page 64
• This is called the focal plane phenomenon. This is not a
malfunction. Because of the way the image device (CMOS sensor)
reads out video signals, a subject passing through a frame rapidly
may appear to bend, depending on the recording conditions.
Explanation/Solution
• Image files recorded using another device may not play on your
camcorder.
• Check memory card compatibility.
• Photo images recorded on other devices may not appear in their
actual size. This is not an error.
• Check if the AC power adaptor or battery back is properly
connected and secure.
