55 For Your Information If a problem arises, you may be able to correct it yourself. See Symptom and Correction list below. Before Requesting Service Correction Symptom While head cleaning is normally not needed, playing old or damaged tapes may clog the heads. When playback picture resembles example at the left, head cleaning is required. Ideally, head cleaning should be performed by a qualified service technician. When this is not possible, purchase a head cleaning cassette. Be sure to follow cleaning cassette instructions exactly and only use when symptoms occur. Clogged Video Head Video Head Cleaning No picture in EVF or LCD monitor ... The right side of the screen appears grayish... Video cassette cannot be inserted ... Video cassette cannot be removed ... Operation buttons do not work ... Recording cannot be done ... Auto Focus does not operate ... Sound from microphone can’t be monitored ... Camera picture is too dark ... No playback picture, or the playback picture is noisy or contains streaks ... “Panasonic ITS TAPES CAN PLAY IN YOUR VCR ...” appears in EVF or LCD Monitor ... “NO CARD” appears in EVF or LCD Monitor ... Cannot capture the image ... Cannot playback Still image ... “NO PICTURE” appears in EVF or LCD Monitor ... Top of playback picture waves back and forth excessively ...• Connect Power Source.

(p. 36) • No memory remaining. Delete some images before capturing more images. • Set POWER to PHOTO. (p. 37) • Make sure Memory Card (optional) is inserted. (p. 34) • There are no images in memory. • A playback signal is not as stable as an off the air TV signal, so the top of your TV screen may appear bent or unstable during playback. This is called, “Horizontal AFC time constant change.” To correct, slowly turn the TV horizontal hold control. If your TV does not have this control, or adjusting it does not help, contact your TV service center. (Some nominal service charges may be required.) 10.L672 Infor p54-6002.2.19, 0:50 PM 55
