Before requesting repair (Problems and solutions)

Power/Body

1:The movie camera power cannot be turned on.

•Is the battery fully charged? Use a fully charged battery.

•The battery protection circuit may have operated. Attach the battery to the AC adaptor for 5 to 10 seconds. If the movie camera still cannot be used, the battery is faulty.

•Is the LCD monitor open or the viewfinder

extend?

2: The movie camera power is turned off automatically.

•If you do not use the unit for approximately

5 minutes, the power is automatically turned off to conserve the battery charge. To resume recording, turn the power back on. The power will not turn off automatically when the power

save function is set to [OFF]. (-39-)

3:The movie camera power does not stay on long enough.

•Is the battery low? If the remaining battery power indication is flashing or the message “LOW BATTERY” is displayed, the battery has run down. Charge the battery or attach a fully charged battery. (-9-)

•Has condensation occurred? When you carry the movie camera from a cold place into a warm place, condensation may occur inside it. If so, the power is turned off automatically, disabling all operations except for taking cassettes out. Wait until the condensation indication disappears. (-45-)

4: Battery runs down quickly.

•Is the battery fully charged? Charge it with the AC adaptor. (-9-)

•Are you using the battery in an extremely cold place? The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold places, the operating time of the battery becomes shorter.

•Has the battery worn out? The battery has a limited life. If the operating time is still too short even after the battery is fully charged, depending on the usage, the battery has worn out and can no longer be used.
