Is it difficult to use auto focus with your subject?
Focus manually.
Does manual focus icon appear?
The DVD video camera/recorder is set to manual focus. Focus
the subject manually, or release manual focus.
Is the diopter control correctly adjusted if you are using the
viewfinder as a monitor?
Adjust the diopter control.
In cases other than the above, set the power switch to "OFF", and
then set it to "HDD", "DVD" or "SD" again.
Perform repair following the instructions on screen.
Repair is possible when the DVD video camera/recorder is
powered by the AC adapter/charger. If you are using the HDD
and have detected an error in part of video file, a battery can also
be used for repair (if the remaining battery level indicator shows
more than half level).
It will take from a few minutes to several hours for repair. If you
wish to start recording immediately, remove the disc, and then
insert another disc: The removed disc can later be repaired by
connecting the AC adapter/charger.
