(Problems and Solutions)
Power/Body
The Camcorder power cannot be turned on.
•  Is the battery fully charged? Use a fully charged 
battery.
•  The battery protection circuit may have operated. 
Attach the battery to the AC adaptor for 5 to 
10 seconds. If the Camcorder still cannot be used, 
the battery is faulty.
The Camcorder power is turned off 
automatically.
•  If you set [   POWER SAVE] to [5 MINUTES] 
and do not operate the Camcorder for about 
5 continuous minutes, the power is automatically 
turned off for tape protection and power 
conservation. To resume recording, turn the [OFF/
ON] switch to [OFF]. Then turn it to [ON] again. 
(pp. 15, 51)
The Camcorder power does not stay on long 
enough.
•  Is the battery low? If the remaining battery power 
indication is flashing or the message [LOW 
BATTERY] is displayed, the battery has run down. 
Charge the battery or attach a fully charged battery. 
(p. 12)
•  Has condensation occurred? When you carry the 
Camcorder from a cold place into a warm place, 
condensation may occur inside it. If so, the power 
is turned off automatically, disabling all operations 
except for taking cassettes out. Wait until the 
condensation indication disappears. (p. 57)
Battery runs down quickly.
•  Is the battery fully charged? Charge it with the AC 
adaptor. (p. 12)
•  Are you using the battery in an extremely cold 
place? The battery is affected by ambient 
temperature. In cold places, the operating time of 
the battery 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, depending on the 
usage, the battery has worn out and can no longer 
be used.
The Camcorder cannot be operated though 
powered up.
The Camcorder does not operate normally.
•  Remove the cassette and then press the [RESET] 
button. (p. 62) If normal conditions are not restored 
yet, turn off the power. Then, about 1 minute 
later, turn on the power again. (Conducting the 
above operation when the Access Lamp is on may 
destroy the data on the card.)
•  Do not touch the terminals on the back of the Card 
with your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to 
enter it.
•  Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to 
prevent swallowing.

 LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood
 LCD Monitor
•  In a place with drastic temperature changes, 
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it 
with a soft dry cloth.
•  If your Camcorder is extremely cold when you turn 
its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor is 
slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the 
internal temperature increases, it goes back to the 
normal brightness.
 Viewfinder
•  Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun. 
Internal components may be seriously damaged.
•  When the Camcorder is used with a large capacity 
Battery attached to it, it is not practical to look in the 
Viewfinder from behind the Battery.
Lens Hood
•  When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion Lens 
(not supplied), Wide Conversion Lens (not supplied), 
MC Protector (not supplied), or ND Filter (not 
supplied), rotate these in a clockwise direction.
•  If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during 
recording with the filter and conversion lens attached 
to the Camcorder, 4 corners of the image may 
become dark (vignetting). For details, please refer to 
the operating instructions of your accessories.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to 
produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total 
of approximately 105,000 pixels. The result is more 
than 99.99 % effective pixels with a mere 0.01 % 
of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is 
not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded 
picture.
