Smear iSKl
A luminous bar appears vertically on the screen where an
excessively bright scene was recorded.
Smear is caused when:
• Spotlights are directly recorded, on a stage for example.
• Burning candles or other burning objects are recorded directly.
• Objects reflecting light, such as car bodies and traffic signs, are
recorded directly.
Poor playback picture on TV monitor
Loss in video playback picture quality such as blurring, distortion or
noise usually means that the video heads have become dirty. Use
the optional Canon 8mm Video Head Cleaning Cassette CC-8
included in the Canon 8mm Video Cleaning Kit CK-E1 to clean
video heads. See CC-8 instruction manual for details.
