Recording

The point where START/STOP was pressed does not match the beginning/end of the recording.

-There is a slight interval between pressing START/STOP and the actual start of recording. This is not a malfunction.

The camcorder will not focus.

-Autofocus does not work on the subject. Focus manually ( 51).

-Lens or Instant AF sensor is dirty. Clean the lens or sensor with a soft lens-cleaning cloth ( 115). Never use tissue paper to clean the lens.
