Troubleshooting

If you run into any problems using your camcorder, use the following table to troubleshoot 
the problem. If the problem persists, remove the power source and contact your Sony dealer.

• The battery pack is discharged, running low, or not attached to the camcorder.
• Attach a charged battery pack to the camcorder (p. 8).
• Use the AC Adaptor to connect to a wall socket (p. 8).
• Insert your camcorder into the Handycam Station correctly (p. 8).

• Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall socket or remove the battery pack, then reconnect 

it after about 1 minute. If the functions still do not work, press the RESET button (p. 24) 
using a sharp-pointed object. (If you press the RESET button, all settings, including the 
clock setting, are reset, except the Personal Menu items.)

• During Easy Handycam operation, the available buttons are limited (p. 18).

• During recording or communicating with another device via USB cable, you cannot turn 

Easy Handycam operation on or off.

• During Easy Handycam operation, the settings of the functions that are not displayed on the 

screen return to their defaults. Previously made settings are restored when you cancel the 
Easy Handycam operation.

• You cannot view the demonstration when the NIGHTSHOT PLUS switch is set to ON.
• Eject the cassette and “Memory Stick Duo” from your camcorder (p. 16).

• This is because the power has been turned on for a long time. This is not a malfunction.
