•
Make sure the battery and AC adaptor are connected properly.
Check the connections again.
•
To prevent the battery from running down needlessly, the camera-
recorder automatically turns off when the camera-recorder has
been left in the recording pause mode for more than 5 minutes.
Check the settings in the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen, POWER
SAVE.
•
The battery may have run out.
If the remaining battery charge display is blinking or
appears, the battery has run out.
Either recharge the battery or replace the discharged battery with a
fully charged one.
•
Make sure the battery is fully charged.
Keep charging until the battery charger's CHARGE lamp goes out.
•
Are you using the battery in a cold place?
The battery is affected by the ambient temperature. Its operating
time is reduced in low-temperatures.
•
The battery may have reached the end of its service life. The
battery will become unchargeable. The battery has a certain
service life which varies depending on how the battery is used. If
the battery operates only for a short period even when it is charged
adequately, it has reached the end of its service life.
•
The remaining battery capacity display is merely a guideline. To
ensure that remaining battery capacity is displayed correctly, use
the battery completely from a fully-charged state, and charge
the battery again. (Remaining battery capacity may still not be
displayed correctly if the battery has been used for long periods in
high or low temperatures, or if the battery has been recharged a
large number of times.)
•
Make sure the POWER switch is ON.
•
Make sure the camera is in manual focus mode. You can focus
automatically when the auto focus mode is selected.

shooting through a dirty window
