Explanation/Solution
The contrast between the subject and the background is too
great for the camcorder to operate normally. Make the back-
ground bright to reduce the contrast or use the I-BLC/BLC
function while you are recording. (see page 39)
The use of VIEWFINDER is recommended when recording
under sunlight. (see page 7)
Adjust the LCD (see page 30)
The viewfinder lens has not been adjusted.
Turn the viewfinder focus ring until the screen comes into
sharp focus. (see page 31)

You have reached the beginning or end of the cassette.
The LCD monitor is opened.
Make sure the SPEAKER is ON.(see page 58)
The LCD is turned reverse.
