Explanation/Solution
• Insert a memory card into your camcorder properly.
• If you use a memory card formatted on a computer, format it again directly on your camcorder.
• Release the lock on the write-protect tab of the memory card (SDHC/SD memory card), if any.
• You cannot delete a protected image. Release protection of the image using the Protect function.
• Release the lock on the write-protect tab of the memory card (SDHC/SD memory card), if any.
• The memory card is not supported on your camcorder or the card has some problems.
• The file may be corrupted.
• The file format is not supported by your camcorder.
• The file name is displayed correctly only if the directory structure complies with the international standard.
Explanation/Solution
• Set "Focus" to "Auto." page 59
• The recording conditions are not suitable for auto focus. Adjust the focus manually.
• The lens is dusty on the surface. Clean the lens and check the focus.
• Recording is being made in a dark location. Use a light to brighten the area.
• This may occur when you make a recording under a fluorescent sodium, or mercury lamp.
Cancel " SCENE" to avoid or minimise this phenomenon.
• The white balance is incorrect. Set the proper "White Balance."
• 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.
