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 opened or the viewfinder

extended?

2: The movie camera power is turned off automatically.

•If you set [POWER SAVE] to [5 MINUTES] and do not operate the movie camera for about

5 continuous minutes, the power is automatically turned off for tape protection and power conservation. To resume recording, turn the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF]. Then turn it to [ON] again. (-65-) Also, if you set

[POWER SAVE] to [OFF], the power does not

automatically turn off.

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. (-72-)

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.

5:The movie camera cannot be operated though powered up.

The movie camera does not operate

normally.

•The movie camera cannot be operated unless you open the LCD monitor or extend the viewfinder.

•Remove the cassette and the card and then press the [RESET] button. (-71-) If normal conditions are not restored yet, turn off the power. Then, about 1 minute later, turn on the power again. (Conducting the above operation when the access lamp is on may destroy the data on the card.)

6: The cassette cannot be removed.

•Does the Status indicator comes on when opening the cassette cover? (-15-) Make sure that the battery and the AC adaptor are properly connected. (-10-)

•Is the battery in use discharged? Charge the battery and remove the cassette.

•Close the cassette cover completely, and fully

open it again. (-15-)

7:No operation other than cassette removal can be performed.

• Has condensation occurred? Wait until the condensation indication disappears. (-72-)

8:The remote control does not function.

• Has the button-type battery of the remote control run out? Replace it with a new button- type battery. (-22-)

• Is the setting on the remote control correct? If the setting on the remote control is not in agreement with the [REMOTE] setting on the movie camera, the remote control does not operate. (-23-)
