Problem

This unit cannot be turned on.

This unit does not stay on long enough.

Battery runs down quickly.

This unit is turned off automatically.

The minute display of the remaining battery power indication is not displayed correctly.

Check points

≥Charge the battery using the AC adaptor. (l 20)

≥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.

≥The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold places, the battery using time becomes shorter.

≥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.

≥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 (l 28) is set to [OFF].

≥If you connect to a TV compatible with VIERA Link with a HDMI mini 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 VIERA Link, set [VIERA Link] to [OFF]. (l 83)

≥When this unit is connected to a DVD burner to copy or play back images (a disc is being accessed), the power turns off automatically if the Mini AB USB connection cable is removed.

≥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.)
