• 16X9 feature selected. See page 33.
• Sunlight is directly entering the lens.
Black spots or bright spots of light (red, green, or blue) may
appear on the LCD monitor. These spots are not recorded
on the tape and are not due to a defect in the unit.
• The light that illuminates the LCD monitor gets hot. To
cool it down, close the LCD monitor and turn off the
camcorder.
Lead-acid batteries must be kept charged. Charge your
battery before and after every use and at least every
six months.
Battery run times are measured when the camcorder is
recording continuously. To check your battery; charge it
completely, aim the camcorder at a clock, and record the
clock. When the camcorder stops recording, play the last
part of the tape and check the time on the clock. A one-
hour battery should give you about 60 minutes of recording
time. In practical use, a fully charged battery might not
record for 60 minutes because the battery uses power when
you pause the recording and uses extra power when you
zoom.
