Troubleshooting

p Charge the battery using the AC adaptor. (F 15)
p 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.
p Make sure the LCD monitor is opened.
p The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold
places, the battery using time becomes shorter.
p 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.
p 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 (F 24) is set to [OFF].
p If you connect to a TV compatible with VIERA Link with a
HDMI mini 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 VIERA Link, set [VIERA Link] to
[OFF]. (F 89)
p When this unit is connected to a DVD burner to copy or play
back images (a disc is being accessed), the power turns off
automatically if the Mini AB USB Connection Cable is
removed.
p This is the sound of the lens moving and is not a defect.
This sound will no longer be heard when the unit's power is
turned on.
p 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.)
