•The x indicator and " CLEANING CASSETTE" message appear one after another,
or the x indicator flashes on the screen during recording.

If the video heads get dirtier, the entire screen becomes blue [c].
Cleaning the LCD screen
If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using the Cleaning
cloth (supplied) to clean the LCD screen. When you use the LCD Cleaning Kit
(optional), do not apply the cleaning liquid directly to the LCD screen. Clean the LCD
screen with cleaning paper moistened with the liquid.
