• The spots appear when you are recording in [SUPER NS] or [SUPER NSPLUS] , or
[COLOR SLOW S]. This is not a malfunction.
The color of the picture is not correctly displayed.
• Set the NIGHTSHOT or NIGHTSHOT PLUS switch to OFF (p.35).
The picture appears too bright on the screen, and the subject does not appear
on the screen.
• Set the NIGHTSHOT or NIGHTSHOT PLUS switch to OFF (p.35).
The picture appears too dark on the screen, and the subject does not appear
on the screen.
• The LCD screen backlight is switched off. Turn on the LCD backlight by pressing and
holding the DISP/BATT INFO (p.21).
Flickering or changes in color occurs.

+/– marks.
• Remove any obstructions between the Remote Commander and the remote sensor.
• Point the remote sensor away from strong light sources such as direct sunlight or overhead
lighting. Otherwise, the Remote Commander may not function properly.

Another DVD device malfunctions when you use the supplied Remote
Commander.
• Select a commander mode other than DVD 2 for your DVD device, or cover the sensor of
your DVD device with black paper.
