Explanation/Solution

•Do not expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight.

•Set “Date/Time Display” to on. page 84

•Set the "Beep Sound" to “On.”

•The beep sound is temporally off while the camcorder records videos.

•When the Audio/Video cable jack is connected to the camcorder, the beep sound will automatically turn off.

•On your camcorder, there may be a slight time delay between the point where you press Recording start/stop button and the actual point where the recorded video starts/stops. This is not an error.

•The internal temperature of your camcorder is unusually high. Turn off your camcorder and leave it for a while in a cool place.

•Your camcorder is damp and moist inside (condensation). Turn off your camcorder and leave it for about 1 hour in a cool place.

•Set your camcorder to Record mode. page 24

•Release the lock on the write-protection tab of the memory card if set.

•The storage media is full.

Use a new memory card or format the storage media. page 80 Remove unnecessary images. page 69
