Maintenance
LCD (brightness/backlight)
• Adjust the brightness of the display and the strength of the backlight at the
camera or VCR menu.
• In bright conditions, set the backlight to BRIGHT to make the display easier to
see.
• If the displays appear too light or too dark in general, adjust the brightness of the
screen.
1. Open the Camera or VCR menu.
2. a) Adjust the backlight by choosing between NORMAL and
BRIGHT at the BACKLIGHT option.
b) Adjust the overall brightness by choosing the BRIGHTNESS
option and turning the select dial up or down (a bar showing the
level appears in the screen as a guide).
3. Close the menu.
Note:
• When the backlight is set to BRIGHT it uses more battery power. To save power,
leave it set to NORMAL. (It is reset to NORMAL when you turn the camera off
using the POWER switch.)
LCD
• Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available glass cleaner.
• Where there is a big change in temperature, moisture may form on the surface of
the screen. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
• At low temperatures the display may appear to be much darker than usual. This
is not a fault, and as the screen warms up the display will return to normal.
Camera body and lens
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body or lens. Never use chemically
treated cloth or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.
Video heads
• When mosaic-like noise appears on the playback picture,
the video heads may be dirty. When the video heads are
badly contaminated, the camera may show a blank blue
screen.
• Clean the video heads using Canon's DVM-CL Digital
Video Head Cleaning Cassette. If the "noise" remains,
repeat the cleaning (up to maximum of five times).
• Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette, as this can cause damage.
