Troubleshooting

ªUnit operations

Problem Check points

This unit cannot be

turned on.

≥Is the battery fully charged?

#Charge it with the AC adaptor. (l26)

≥The battery protection circuit may have operated. Attach the battery

to the AC adaptor for 5 to 10 seconds. If the unit still cannot be

used, the battery is faulty.

≥Make sure the LCD monitor is opened.

This unit is turned off

automatically.

≥If you do not use the unit for approximately 5 minutes, the power is

automatically turned off to conserve battery life. To resume

recording, turn the power back on.

The power will not turn off automatically when the power save

function (l109) is set to [OFF].

≥Are you connecting to a TV compatible with EZ Sync with a HDMI

cable?

#If you connect to a TV compatible with EZ Sync with a HDMI

cable and turn off the power on the TV with the remote control for

the TV, the power on this unit also turns off. If you are not using

EZ Sync, set [EZSync] to [OFF]. (l80)

This unit does not stay

on long enough.

≥Is the battery low?

#If the remaining battery power indication is flashing or the

message “CHANGE THE BATTERY.” is displayed, the battery

has run down. Charge the battery. (l26)

Battery runs down

quickly.

≥Is the battery fully charged?

#Charge it with the AC adaptor. (l26)

≥Are you using the battery in an extremely cold place?

#The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold places,

battery life 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, the battery has worn out

and needs to be replaced.

The minute display of the

remaining battery power

indication is not

displayed correctly.

≥The remaining battery capacity indication is an approximation.

If you think the remaining battery capacity indication is not

displayed correctly, fully charge the battery, discharge it and then

charge it again. (Even if this operation is performed, it may not be

possible to display the remaining battery capacity correctly if the

battery was used for a long period of time where the temperature

was low or high or if the battery was repeatedly charged.)
