Manual de Usuario

The Black & White Fader does not work.
� The Sepia or Monotone mode is activated. ¥ Turn off Sepia and Monotone ( pg. 27).

When the screen is under direct sunlight during shooting, the screen becomes red or black for an instant.
� This is not a malfunction.

During R.A.Edit, the Dissolve function does not work.
� The Sepia or Monotone mode of Programme AE with special effects is activated. ¥ Turn off Sepia or Monotone before adding Dissolve to a scene transition ( pg. 27, 43). � The previously selected mode of Programme AE with special effects was changed after the last selected scene for editing was registered. ¥ Make sure you have selected the mode of Programme AE with special effects you want before starting editing ( pg. 27, 43).

The date/time does not appear.
� �DATE/TIME� is set to �OFF� in the Menu Screen. ¥ Set �DATE/TIME� to �ON� in the Menu Screen ( pg. 34, 36).

Files stored on the memory card cannot be deleted.
� Files stored on the memory card are protected. ¥ Remove protection from the files stored on the memory card and delete them ( pg. 20).

Time code does not appear.
� �TIME CODE� is set to �OFF� in the Menu Screen. ¥ Set �TIME CODE� to �ON� in the Menu Screen ( pg. 35, 36).

During R.A.Edit, the Picture Wipe and Dissolve functions do not work.
� The last selected editing scene is ending. ¥ Select Picture Wipe or Dissolve before beginning editing. The effects are then automatically activated ( pg. 42, 43). � At the end of the last selected scene for editing, the Power Switch @ was set to �OFF�. ¥ Do not turn off the camcorder�s power after setting Edit-In and Edit-Out points, as they will all be erased ( pg. 42). � The power is off. ¥ The camcorder automatically shuts off after 5 minutes have elapsed in the Pause mode. Make sure you continue operations within 5 minutes after engaging Pause mode ( pg. 42, 43).

Images on the LCD monitor appear dark or whitish.
� In places subject to low temperature, images become dark due to the characteristics of the LCD monitor. When this happens, the displayed colours differ from those that are actually recorded. This is not a defect of the camcorder. � When the LCD monitor's fluorescent light reaches the end of its service life, images on the LCD monitor become dark. Consult your nearest JVC dealer. ¥ Adjust the brightness and angle of the LCD monitor ( pg. 12).

Scene transition does not go as expected.
� When using �Picture Wipe/Dissolve� ( pg. 43), there is a delay of a fraction of a second between the previous record stop-point and the Dissolve startpoint. This is normal, but this slight delay becomes especially noticeable when shooting fast-moving subject or during rapid panning.

The rear of the LCD monitor is hot.
� The light used to illuminate the LCD monitor causes it to become hot. ¥ Close the LCD monitor to turn it off or set the Power Switch @ to �OFF�, and let the unit cool down.

The indicators and the image colour on the LCD monitor are not clear.
� This may occur when the surface or the edge of the LCD monitor is pressed.

The image looks like the shutter speed is too slow.
� When shooting in the dark, the unit becomes highly sensitive to light when �GAIN UP� is set to �AUTO� in the Menu Screen. ¥ If you want the lighting to look more natural, set �GAIN UP� to �AGC� or �OFF� in the Menu Screen ( pg. 33).

The LCD monitor or viewfinder indications blink.
� Certain Fade/Wipe effects, certain modes of Programme AE with special effects, �DIS� and other functions that cannot be used together are selected at the same time. ¥ Re-read the sections covering Fade/Wipe effects, Programme AE with special effects and �DIS� ( pg. 27, 28, 33).

White Balance cannot be activated.
� The Sepia or Monotone mode is activated. ¥ Turn off Sepia or Monotone before setting White Balance ( pg. 27, 31).

When shooting a subject illuminated by bright light, vertical lines appear.
� This is a result of exceedingly high contrast, and is not a malfunction.
