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. (
-59-
)
• 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. (
-59-
)
• 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.
5: The movie camera cannot be operated
though powered up.
The movie camera does not operate
normally.
• Remove the cassette and then press the
[RESET] button. (
-104-
) If normal conditions are
not restored yet, turn off the power. Then,
about 1 minute later, turn on the power again.
