Before requesting repair 
(Problems and solutions)

Power/Body
1: The movie camera power cannot be turned 

on.

• Is the battery fully charged? Use a fully 

charged battery.

• The battery protection circuit may have 

operated. Attach the battery to the AC adaptor 
for 5 to 10 seconds. If the movie camera still 
cannot be used, the battery is faulty.

• Is the LCD monitor open or the viewfinder 

extend?

2: The movie camera power is turned off 

automatically.

• If you set [POWER SAVE] to [5 MINUTES] and 

do not operate the movie camera for about 
5 continuous minutes, the power is 
automatically turned off for tape protection and 
power conservation. To resume recording, turn 
the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF]. Then turn it to 
[ON] again. (

-38-

) Also, if you set 

[POWER SAVE] to [OFF], the power does not 
automatically turn off.

3: The movie camera power does not stay on 

long enough.

• 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 or attach a fully 
charged battery. (

-8-

• Has condensation occurred? When you carry 

the movie camera from a cold place into a 
warm place, condensation may occur inside it. 
If so, the power is turned off automatically, 
disabling all operations except for taking 
cassettes out. Wait until the condensation 
indication disappears. (

-45-

4: Battery runs down quickly.

• Is the battery fully charged? Charge it with the 

AC adaptor. (

-8-

• 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, 
depending on the usage, the battery has worn 
out and can no longer be used. 

5: The movie camera cannot be operated 

though powered up.
The movie camera does not operate 
normally.

• The movie camera cannot be operated unless 

you open the LCD monitor or extend the 
viewfinder.

• Remove the cassette and then press the 

[RESET] button. (

-44-

) If normal conditions are 

not restored yet, turn off the power. Then, 
about 1 minute later, turn on the power again. 

6: The cassette cannot be removed.

• Does the status indicator comes on when 

opening the cassette cover? (

-13-

) Make sure 

that the battery and the AC adaptor are 
properly connected. (

-8-

• Is the battery in use discharged? Charge the 

battery and remove the cassette.

• Close the cassette cover completely, and fully 

open it again. (

-13-

7: No operation other than cassette removal 

can be performed.

• Has condensation occurred? Wait until the 

condensation indication disappears. (

-45-

8: The remote control does not function. 

(NV-GS37 only)

• Has the button-type battery of the remote 

control run out? Replace it with a new 
button-type battery. (

-18-

• Is the setting on the remote control correct? If 

the setting on the remote control is not in 
agreement with the [REMOTE] setting on the 
movie camera, the remote control does not 
operate. (

-19-

Recording
1: Recording does not start although power is 

supplied to the movie camera and the 
cassette is correctly inserted.

• Is the accidental erasure prevention slider on 

the cassette open? If it is open (set to [SAVE]), 
recording cannot be performed. (

-13-

• Is the tape wound to the end? Insert a new 

cassette.

• Is the recording mode set? When in the 

playback mode, recording cannot be 
performed. (

-21-

• Has condensation occurred? No operation 

other than cassette removal can be performed 
when condensation occurs. Wait until the 
condensation indication disappears. (

-45-

• Is the cassette cover open? If the cover is 

open, the movie camera may not operate 
normally. Close the cassette cover. (
