Before requesting repair 
(Problems and solutions)
Power/Body
1: The Camcorder power cannot be turned on.
• Is the battery fully charged? Use a fully 
charged battery.
• The battery protection circuit may have 
operated. Insert the battery to the AC adaptor 
for 5 to 10 seconds. If the Camcorder still 
cannot be used, the battery is faulty.
• Make sure the LCD monitor is opened or the 
viewfinder extended.
2: The Camcorder power 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 
is set to [OFF]. (

)
3: 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. (
-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. (

4: Battery runs down quickly.
• Is the battery fully charged? Charge it with the 
AC adaptor. (
-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 needs to be replaced.
5: The Camcorder cannot be operated though 
powered up.
The Camcorder does not operate normally.
• The Camcorder cannot be operated unless you 
open the LCD monitor or extend the viewfinder.
• Remove the cassette and then press the 
[RESET] button. (

not restored yet, turn off the power. Then, 
about 1 minute later, turn on the power again.
6: The cassette cannot be removed.
• Does the status indicator comes on when 
opening the cassette cover? (

supplied to the Camcorder and the cassette 
is correctly inserted.

the cassette open? If it is open (set to [SAVE]), 
recording cannot be performed. (
-18-
)
• Is the tape wound to the end? Insert a new 
cassette.

adjusted.
• There are some recording subjects and 
surroundings for which the auto focus does not 
operate correctly. (
