handling and maintenance tips, and other information.

Trouble?

If you have a problem with your camcorder, refer to this checklist. Consult your dealer 
or a Canon Service Center if the problem persists.
• Depending on the level of repair, the hard disk may be initialized or replaced, 

resulting in permanent data loss. Before having the camcorder repaired, back up 
important recordings using an external device (

40). Canon shall not be liable for 

any data loss due to repair.

• To verify a possible problem, data on the hard disk will need to be checked. 

However, only the minimum amount necessary will be checked and the data will 
not be copied or saved.

Power Source

• Camcorder will not turn on.
• Camcorder switches off by itself.
• Screen switches on and off.

Battery pack is exhausted. Replace or charge the battery pack.

21

Attach the battery pack correctly.

The charge indicator flashes rapidly.

 (one flash at 0.5-second intervals)

Charging has stopped because the compact power adapter or the battery 
pack is faulty. Consult a Canon Service Center.

–

 (two quick flashes at 1-second intervals)

Battery pack at least 50% charged. This is not a malfunction.

22

• Battery pack will not charge.
• The CHG (charge) indicator flashes 

very slowly (about once every 2 
seconds).

Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F 
and 104 °F).

–

Battery packs become hot with use and may not charge. When the battery 
pack is outside the charging temperature range, the CHG (charge) 
indicator will flash irregularly. The charging will start once the battery pack 
temperature is below 40 °C (104 °F).

–

The battery pack is damaged. Use a different battery pack.

–

Camcorder is on but is unresponsive.

The camcorder has exceeded its operational temperature (

appears). 

Turn off the camcorder and let it cool down before resuming use.

–

The camcorder has fallen below its operational temperature 
(

appears). Keep it on and let it warm up. If the camcorder still does 

not respond, turn it off and use it in a warmer location.
