 Troubleshooting

If you run into any problems using your 

camcorder, follow the steps below.

  Check the list (p. 61 to 63), and 

inspect your camcorder.

  Remove the power source, attach 

the power source again after about 1 
minute, and turn the camcorder on.

  Press RESET (p. 72) using a pointed 

object, and turn the camcorder on.

If you press RESET, all settings, 

including the clock setting, are reset.

  Contact your Sony dealer or local 

authorized Sony service facility.

Your camcorder may be required to initialize or 

change the current internal recording media of 

your camcorder, depending on the problem. In 

the event of this, the data stored on the internal 

recording media will be deleted. Be sure to 

save the data on the internal recording media 

on other media (backup) before sending your 

camcorder for repair. We will not compensate 

you for any loss of internal recording media 

data.

During repair, we may check a minimum 

amount of data stored on the internal recording 

media in order to investigate the problem. 

However, your Sony dealer will neither copy 

nor retain your data.

See the “Handycam” Handbook (p. 60) for 

details on the symptoms of your camcorder, 

and “PMB Help” (p. 36) on connecting your 

camcorder to a computer.

The power does not turn on.

Attach a charged battery pack to the 

camcorder (p. 12).

Connect the plug of the AC Adaptor to the 

wall outlet (wall socket) (p. 14).

The camcorder does not operate even 

when the power is set to on. 

It takes a few seconds for your camcorder to 

be ready to shoot after the power is turned on. 

This is not a malfunction.

Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall 

outlet (wall socket) or remove the battery 

pack, then reconnect it after about 1 minute. 

If your camcorder still does not work, press 

RESET (p. 72) using a pointed object. (If you 

press RESET, all settings, including the clock 

setting, are reset.)

The temperature of your camcorder is 

extremely high. Turn off the camcorder and 

leave it for a while in a cool place.

The temperature of your camcorder is 

extremely low. Leave the camcorder with the 

power turned on. If you still cannot operate 

your camcorder, turn off the camcorder and 

take it to a warm place. Leave the camcorder 

there for a while, then turn on the camcorder.

Your camcorder gets warm.

Your camcorder may become warm during 

operation. This is not a malfunction.

The power abruptly turns off.

Use the AC Adaptor (p. 14).

Turn on the power again.

Charge the battery pack (p. 12).

Pressing START/STOP or PHOTO does not 

record images.

Press MODE to turn on the   (Movie) or   

(Photo) lamp.

Your camcorder is recording the image you 

have just shot on the recording media. You 

cannot make any new recordings during this 

period.

The recording media is full. Delete 

unnecessary images (p. 31).

Total number of movie scenes or photos has 

exceeded the recordable capacity of your 

camcorder. Delete unnecessary images (p. 31).
