Additional Information

Even after stopping recording, the ACCESS indicator does not go off.

- The scene is being recorded on the memory. This is not a malfunction.

The red ON/OFF (CHG) indicator flashes rapidly (

one flash at 0.5-second

intervals).

- Charging has stopped because the compact power adapter or the battery pack is faulty. Con-

sult a Canon Service Center.

The red ON/OFF (CHG) indicator flashes very slowly (

one flash at 2-

second intervals).

- The temperature of the battery pack is outside the charging range. If the battery pack’s tem-

perature is below 0 °C (32 °F), warm it before charging it; if it is above 40 °C (104 °F), let the
battery pack cool down before charging it.

- Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F and 104 °F).
- The battery pack is damaged. Use a different battery pack.

Picture and Sound

The screen appears too dark.

- The LCD screen was dimmed. Hold

pressed down for 2 seconds to restore the LCD

screen to its normal brightness.

Screen displays turn on and off repeatedly.

- The battery pack is exhausted. Replace or charge the battery pack.
- Remove the battery pack and reattach it correctly.

Abnormal characters appear on the screen and the camcorder does not operate properly.

- Disconnect the power source and reconnect it after a short time. If the problem still persists,

disconnect the power source and press the RESET button with a pointed item. Pressing the
RESET button resets all settings.

Video noise appears on screen.

- Keep a distance between the camcorder and devices that emit strong electromagnetic fields

(plasma TVs, cellular phones, etc.).

Horizontal bands appear on the screen.

- This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors when recording under some types of

fluorescent, mercury or sodium lamps. To reduce the symptoms set the recording program to
[Programmed AE] or [Shutter-Priority AE] (

60). This is not a malfunction.

Sound is distorted or is recorded at lower levels.

- When recording near loud sounds (such as fireworks, shows or concerts), sound may become

distorted or it may not be recorded at the actual levels. Activate the microphone attenuator
(

142) or adjust the audio recording level manually (

77).

The picture is displayed correctly but there is no sound from the built-in speaker.

- Speaker volume is turned off. Adjust the volume.
