Check points
This unit cannot be 
turned on.
≥ Is the battery fully charged?
# Charge the battery using the AC adaptor. (l 31)
≥ 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 or the viewfinder extended.
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 is set to [OFF]. (
l 131)
≥ 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 [EZ Sync] to [OFF]. (
l 103)
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. (
l 31)
Battery runs down 
quickly.
≥ Is the battery fully charged?
# Charge it with the AC adaptor. (l 31)
≥ 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.)
