Troubleshooting

≥ Charge the battery using the AC adaptor. (l 18)
≥ 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.
≥ The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold
places, the battery using time becomes shorter.
≥ 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.
≥ 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 (l 31) is set to [OFF].
≥ The unit cannot be operated unless you open the LCD
monitor or extend the viewfinder.
≥ Press the RESET button. (l 99) If normal conditions are
not restored yet, remove the battery or AC adaptor, wait
about 1 minute and then reconnect the battery or AC
adaptor. Then about 1 minute later, turn on the power
again. (Performing the above operation when the access
lamp is on may destroy the data on the disc or SD card.)
≥ This is the sound of the lens moving and is not a
malfunction.
≥ If you set [DEMO MODE] to [ON] without inserting a disc or
an SD card in video recording mode or picture recording
mode, the unit is automatically set to the demonstration
mode for introducing its functions. Normally this should be
set to [OFF]. (l 32)
