Recorded subjects 
moving rapidly are 
blurred during 
playback pause.

For subjects moving rapidly, select “Sports” from the 
Program AE options. If you record in a bright 
environment, you can reduce blur.

Recording level 
changes.

This is not a malfunction. The camcorder automatically 
adjusts the recording level according to the loudness of 
recorded sounds. You cannot adjust recording level 
manually. 

—

The LCD screen 
appears unevenly.

Did you press the LCD monitor or the area around it?
If the LCD monitor is pressed, some distortion will occur. 
Release your hand and leave the LCD monitor for a 
while. The LCD screen will recover. 

—

Focus is not correct. Is it difficult to use auto focus with your subject?

Focus manually.

65

Does the manual focus icon appear?
The camcorder is set to manual focus. Focus the subject 
manually, or release manual focus.

64

If the above causes do not apply, turn off the power and 
turn it on again.

—

An error message for 
repair appears.

Follow the on-screen instructions to repair.
You must connect the AC adapter/charger to the 
camcorder to make repairs. However, as an exception, if 
you are using the HDD and an error occurs in part of a 
movie file, you can also use the battery pack for repair (if 
the battery charge indicator shows more than half 
charge).
Depending on the situation, it could take from a few 
minutes to several hours for repair. If you wish to start 
recording immediately, replace the disc, and do the repair 
later. The removed disc can be repaired after you connect 
the AC adapter/charger to the camcorder.
