Before requesting repair 
(Problems and solutions)
Power/Body
1: The movie camera 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 movie camera still 
cannot be used, the battery is faulty.
2: The movie camera power is turned off 
automatically.
• If you set [POWER SAVE] to [5 MINUTES] and 
do not operate the movie camera 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. (

3: The movie camera 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. (

• Has condensation occurred? When you carry 
the movie camera 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. (
-8-
• 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.
