Miscellaneous E Problem ? The wireless controller doesn't work. ? The tally lamp doesn't flash. ? There are air bubbles inside the lens. ? After sliding the POWER switch to CAMERA, there is visible movement in the lens for about 2 seconds. ? The camera malfunctions. ? The DV cable is connected correctly, but there's nothing in the display. ? The camera becomes warm during use. Cause and/or what to do about it • The remote sensor mode is set to OFFB in the menu (p. 37). • The remote sensor modes of the wireless controller and the camera itself are different (p. 37). • The batteries are dead or not inserted. • It is turned off (p. 38). • This is unlikely, but may happen if you use the camera in places where the air pressure is low, in an airplane for example. The bubbles will disappear a week or so after you return the camera to normal atmospheric pressure. • The camcorder is preparing the lens for image stabilization. This is not a malfunction. • External interference may cause the camera's microprocessor to malfunction temporarily. If random letters appear in the display or if normal operation is interrupted, remove and then replace the power source. • If the camera still does not operate properly, press the RESET button (on the camera body behind the LCD panel, p. 8) using the tip of a ball point pen (or similar). Camera functions return to their default settings. • Remove the cable and then reconnect it or turn the power off and back on again. • This is not a malfunction. About the LCD Viewfinder Liquid Crystal Viewfinders use extremely high-precision technology, but there will be pixels which do not light up or which are continuously lit. This is not an error and will not affect the recording. About the CCD Due to the construction of the CCD, in low-light recording, small specks of light may become visible in the viewfinder. In such cases, increase the shutter speed, reduce the gain or use an additional light source such as a video light. Additional Information 94

About the LCD Viewfinder
Liquid Crystal Viewfinders use extremely high-precision technology, but there will be pixels which do not
light up or which are continuously lit. This is not an error and will not affect the recording.
About the CCD
Due to the construction of the CCD, in low-light recording, small specks of light may become visible in
the viewfinder. In such cases, increase the shutter speed, reduce the gain or use an additional light source
such as a video light.
