≥ Is the battery fully charged?
# Charge the battery using the AC adaptor. (l 31)
≥ The battery protection circuit may have operated. Attach the battery
to the AC adaptor for 5 to 10 seconds. If the unit still cannot be
used, the battery is faulty.
≥ Make sure the LCD monitor is opened or the viewfinder extended.
≥ If you do not use the unit for approximately 5 minutes, the power is
automatically turned off to conserve battery life. To resume
recording, turn the power back on. The power will not turn off
automatically when the power save function is set to [OFF]. (l 131)
≥ Are you connecting to a TV compatible with EZ Sync with a HDMI
cable?
# If you connect to a TV compatible with EZ Sync with a HDMI
cable and turn off the power on the TV with the remote control for
the TV, the power on this unit also turns off. If you are not using
EZ Sync, set [EZ Sync] to [OFF]. (l 103)
≥ Is the battery low?
# If the remaining battery power indication is flashing or the
message "CHANGE THE BATTERY." is displayed, the battery
has run down. Charge the battery. (l 31)
≥ Is the battery fully charged?
# Charge it with the AC adaptor. (l 31)
≥ Are you using the battery in an extremely cold place?
# The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold places,
battery life 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, the battery has worn out
and needs to be replaced.
≥ The remaining battery capacity indication is an approximation. If
you think the remaining battery capacity indication is not displayed
correctly, fully charge the battery, discharge it and then charge it
again. (Even if this operation is performed, it may not be possible to
display the remaining battery capacity correctly if the battery was
used for a long period of time where the temperature was low or
high or if the battery was repeatedly charged.)
