(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

automatically turn off.
3: The movie camera power does not stay on

even after the battery is fully charged,
depending on the usage, the battery has worn
