      If the image on your JVC Camcorder looks like the shutter speed is too slow, especially when shooting in the dark, it might be because “GAIN UP” is set to “AUTO,” making the unit highly sensitive to light. If you want the lighting to look more natural, set “GAIN UP” to “AGC” or “OFF”.

      If the color of snapshots looks strange on your JVC Camcorder, it could be because the light source or the subject does not include white, or there are various different light sources behind the subject. Find a white subject and compose your shot so that it also appears in the frame.
