ªVideo Head Clogging and CareIf the heads (the parts that make contact with the 
tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear 
on the playback image, or the screen as a whole 
becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty, 
recording performance deteriorates, and, in the 
worst case, the Camcorder cannot record at all.
Causes of Dirty Heads
≥Large quantity of dust in the air
≥High-temperature and high-humidity 
environment
≥Damaged tape
≥Long operating hours

5) Recording a fast-moving subject
≥Because the focus lens-inside moves 
mechanically, it cannot keep up with the 
fast-moving subject.
6) Recording a subject with little contrast
≥Because the Camcorder achieves focus 
based upon the vertical lines of an image, a 
subject with little contrast, such as a white 
wall, may become blurry.
ªTime CodeTime Code signals are data that indicate time 
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and 
frames (30 frames per second). If this data is
