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 (3,999 scenes).
Delete some recordings (
49, 76) or initialize the memory (
35) 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 recording.
This is not a malfunction.
- When the pre-recording function is used, the beginning of the scene will differ from when
was pressed.
The camcorder will not focus.
- Autofocus does not work on the subject. Focus manually (
58).
- The lens is dirty. Clean the lens with a soft lens-cleaning cloth (
118). Never use tissue
paper to clean the lens.
Changing 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 (
83) and initialize the memory (
35).
Movies or photos cannot be recorded properly.
- This may occur as movies and photos are recorded/deleted over time. Save your recordings
(
83) and initialize the memory (
35).
After using the camcorder for a long time, it becomes hot.
- The camcorder may become hot after using it continuously for long periods of time; this is
not a malfunction. If the camcorder becomes unusually hot or it becomes hot after using it
only for a short while, it may indicate a problem with the camcorder. Consult a Canon Service
Center.
