The battery pack discharges too quickly.
• Ambient temperature is too high or low, or the battery pack has not been charged enough.
This is not a malfunction.
• Fully charge the battery again. If the problem persists, the battery may be worn-out. Replace
it with a new one (p. 12, 91).
The picture remains on the LCD screen.
• This occurs if you disconnect the DC plug or remove the battery pack without turning off the
power first. This is not a malfunction.

• Move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever until the picture appears clearly (p. 16).
The picture in the viewfinder has disappeared.

• Set [REMOTE CTRL] to [ON] (p. 70).

The Cassette Memory indicator or title display does not appear while using a
cassette with the Cassette Memory function.

appear.
