Troubleshooting

Cannot record on the SD card.
- A compatible SD card must be used (A38).
- Initialize the SD card (A40) when you use it with the camcorder for the first time.
- The LOCK switch on the SD card is set to prevent accidental erasure. Change the position of the LOCK switch.
- The SD card is full or it already contains the maximum number of clips (3,999 clips). Delete some clips (A112) or	151
photos (A129) to free some space or replace the SD card.

-The folder and file numbers have reached their maximum value. Set [File Numbering] to [Reset] (A147) and insert a new SD card.

Recording to and playing back from an SD card is slow.

-This may occur as clips and photos are recorded/deleted over time. Save your recordings (A123) and initialize the SD card (A40).

The optional RC-V100 Remote Controller or commercially available remote control does not work.

-Make sure that the [Other Settings] >[REMOTE Term.] setting is set to [RC-V100] when using the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller or [Standard] when using a commercially available remote control.

-When [Camera Setup] >[/CINEMA Locked] is set to [On] or a custom picture file is not selected, custom picture settings cannot be adjusted using the RC-V100. Set [/CINEMA Locked] to [Off] or select a custom picture file ([C1] to [C9]) (A92).

-Turn off the camcorder, reconnect the RC-V100 or other remote control and then turn the camcorder back on again.
