•
Make sure the battery and AC adapter are connected properly.
Check the connections again.
•
To prevent the battery from running down needlessly, the portable
recorder automatically turns off when it has been left in the shooting
pause mode for more than 5 minutes.
Check [POWER SAVE] in the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] setup menu.
•
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 AC adapter'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 battery cannot be charged if the DC cable is connected.
Disconnect it.
•
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 that the power is on.
•
Make sure that the unit is not in manual focus mode.
When auto focus mode is selected, focusing is performed
automatically.
•
You may be shooting a scene where it is difficult to bring the
subject into focus in the auto focus mode. If this is the case, use the
manual focus mode.
It may be hard to bring the subject into focus when
· both close and distant objects are shot at the same time
· shooting through a dirty window
· shooting in a dark place
· there are sparkling or shiny objects around the subject
· the subject is moving fast
· shooting a scene with minimal contrast
•
Sometimes when focus control is in the macro range, the zoom
position is at the wide end or telephoto end, and the camera cannot
focus while zooming.
