POSSIBLE CAUSES
• Shooting was performed under
backlit conditions.
• The subject is too bright.
• 10X optical zoom is selected.
• The VIDEO/MEMORY Switch is set
to "MEMORY".
• The Sepia or Monotone mode is
activated.
• When shooting in the dark, the unit
becomes highly sensitive to light
and the image takes on an effect
similar to Slow Shutter.
• The Sepia or Monotone mode is
activated.
• This is a result of exceedingly high
contrast, and is not a malfunction.
• This is not a malfunction.
• "DATE/TIME" is set to "OFF" in the
Menu Screen.
• Files stored on the memory card
are protected.
• "TIME CODE" is set to "OFF" in the
Menu Screen.
• In places subject to low tempera-
ture, images become dark due to
the characteristics of the LCD
monitor. When this happens, the
displayed colors differ from those
that are actually recorded. This is
not a defect of the camcorder.
• When the LCD monitor's fluores-
cent light reaches the end of its
service life, images on the LCD
monitor become dark. Consult your
nearest JVC dealer.
