ª Unit operations
Problem
This unit cannot be
turned on.
This unit is turned off
automatically.
This unit does not stay
on long enough.
A clicking sound is heard
when the unit is shaken.
Battery runs down
quickly.
The minute display of the
remaining battery power
indication is not
displayed correctly.
≥Is the battery fully charged?
# Charge it with the AC adaptor. (l 22)
≥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.
≥Is the LCD monitor open?
≥If you do not use the unit for approximately 5 minutes, the power is
automatically turned off to conserve the battery charge. To resume
recording, turn the power back on.
The power will not turn off automatically when the power save
function (l 102) is set to [OFF].
≥Are you connecting to a TV compatible with VIERA Link with a
HDMI cable?
# If you connect to a TV compatible with VIERA Link with a HDMI
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]. (l 83)
≥Is the battery low?
# If the remaining battery power indication is flashing or the
message "LOW BATTERY." is displayed, the battery has run
down. Charge the battery. (l 22)
≥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.
≥Is the battery fully charged?
# Charge it with the AC adaptor. (l 22)
≥Are you using the battery in an extremely cold place?
# The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold places,
the operating time of the battery becomes shorter.
≥Has the battery worn out?
# 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 can no longer be used.
≥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.)
