Additional Information

- Charge the battery pack in temperatures between approximately 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F and

104 °F).

- The battery pack is faulty. Replace the battery pack.
- The camcorder cannot communicate with the battery pack attached. Battery packs not rec-

ommended by Canon for use with this camcorder cannot be charged using this camcorder.

- If you are using a battery pack recommended by Canon for use with this camcorder, there

may be a problem with the camcorder or battery pack. Consult a Canon Service Center.

A noise can be heard from the compact power adapter.

- A faint sound can be heard while the compact power adapter is connected to a power outlet.

This is not a malfunction.

The battery pack is exhausted extremely quickly even at normal temperatures.

- The battery may have reached the end of its battery life. Buy a new battery pack.

Recording

Pressing

will not start recording.

- You cannot record while the camcorder is writing previous recordings onto the memory

(while the ACCESS indicator is on or flashing). Wait until the camcorder has finished.

- The memory is full or it already contains the maximum number of scenes of AVCHD movies

(3,999 scenes). Delete some recordings (

60, 120) or initialize the memory (

42) to

free some space.

The point where

was pressed does not match the beginning/end of the

recording.

- There is a slight interval between pressing

and the actual start/end of record-

ing. This is not a malfunction.

The camcorder will not focus.

- Autofocus does not work on the subject. Focus manually (

104).

- The lens is dirty. Clean the lens with a soft lens-cleaning cloth (

209). Never use tissue

paper to clean the lens.

When a subject flits across in front of the lens, the image appears slightly bent.

- This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors. When a subject crosses very quickly in

front of the camcorder, the image may seem slightly warped. This is not a malfunction.

Changing the operating mode between recording (

)/record pause (

)/playback (

)

takes longer than usual.

- When the memory contains a large number of scenes, some operations may take longer than

usual. Save your recordings (

131) and initialize the memory (

42).

Movies or photos cannot be recorded properly.

- This may occur as movies and photos are recorded/deleted over time. Save your recordings

(

131) and initialize the memory (

42).
