Questions and answers
My battery symbol has disappeared from the screen when recording so I cannot tell my battery life , how do I get it to display again?
To restore the battery symbol display on the JVC GR-AXM250 while recording, ensure the battery is properly charged and connected. If the battery is low or not in good health, the symbol may blink or disappear. Using high-power accessories like a halogen light can also cause the battery symbol to blink, indicating low power. Replace or recharge the battery to restore normal display.
