especially noticeable when shooting fast-moving
subject or during rapid panning.
The image looks like the shutter speed is too
slow.
• When shooting in the dark, the unit becomes highly
sensitive to light when “GAIN UP” is set to “AUTO” in

whitish.
• In places subject to low temperature, images become
dark due to the characteristics of the LCD monitor.
When this happens, the displayed colours differ from
those that are actually recorded. This is not a defect
of the camcorder.

end of its service life, images on the LCD monitor
become dark. Consult your nearest JVC dealer.
