The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes; and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.

●If the Record-Standby mode continues for 5 minutes, the camcorder’s power shuts off automatically.

Then, the POWER/CHARGE lamp will blink to indicate for charging if the battery pack is attached to the camcorder and its power is supplied from the AC Adapter.
