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. 9).
• Use the AC Adaptor to connect to a wall outlet (p. 9).
• Insert your camcorder into the Handycam Station correctly (p. 10).

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

after about 1 minute. If the functions still do not work, press the RESET button (p. 26) 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. 21).

• During recording or communicating with another device via USB cable (supplied), 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.

• Eject the cassette and “Memory Stick Duo” from your camcorder (p. 17, 18).

• The camcorder may get warmer while you use it. This is not a malfunction.

• When approximately 5 minutes have elapsed while you do not operate your camcorder, the 

camcorder is automatically turned off (A.SHUT OFF). Change the setting of [A.SHUT OFF] 
(p. 58), or turn on the power again (p. 13), or use the AC Adaptor.

• Charge the battery pack (p. 9).
