Canon LU A 8S Instruction Manual page 26

O About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The screens are produced with
extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than
99,99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the
pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or green dots. This has
no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
O The camcorder will shut off after 5 minutes when left in record pause
mode to protect tape and video heads, "_AUTO POWER OFF" appears
20 seconds before shutoff. To continue recording, turn the POWER switch
to OFF and then back to CAMERA,
O Wait until the tape counter stops completely before you start recording.
O When you do not remove the cassette, you can record the next scene without
producing any noise or blank sections between the recordings even if you turn
the camcorder off.
O Bright light may make it difficult to use the LCD screen. In such case, use the
viewfinder instead.
O When recording near loud sounds (such as fireworks, drums or concerts),
sound may become distorted or may be recorded not in the actual sound level.
This is not a malfunction.
