Troubleshooting Horizontal bands appear on the screen. - This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors when recording under some types of fluorescent, mercury or sodium lamps. To reduce the symptoms, set [Camera Setup] [Flicker Reduction] to [Automatic] (0 57) or set the shutter speed to 1/100 (0 56). This is not a malfunction. 164 Audio cannot be recorded. - The AUDIO IN switch is not set correctly (0 77). - An external microphone connected to the XLR terminal requires phantom power.
Troubleshooting There is no sound from the external monitor. - When connecting the camcorder to an external monitor using the CTC-100/S Component Cable, make sure to connect also the audio connections using the white and red plugs of the optional STV-250N Stereo Video Cable. The camcorder is connected using a commercially available HDMI cable, but there is no picture or sound from the external monitor. - Disconnect the HDMI cable and then restore the connection or turn the camcorder off and then on again.
Troubleshooting 166 CF A/CF B Number of clips already at maximum - The CF card already contains the maximum number of clips (999 clips).
