Smear EQ

A luminous bar appears vertically on the screen where an

• Burning candles or other burning objects are recorded directly.
• Objects reflecting light, such as car bodies and traffic signs, are

recorded directly.

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.
