Cause and/or what to do about it
• The remote sensor mode is set to
OFF
B
in
the menu (p. 37).
• The remote sensor modes of the wireless
controller and the camera itself are different
(p. 37).
• The batteries are dead or not inserted.
• It is turned off (p. 38).
• This is unlikely, but may happen if you use the
camera in places where the air pressure is low, in
an airplane for example. The bubbles will
disappear a week or so after you return the
camera to normal atmospheric pressure.
• The camcorder is preparing the lens for image
stabilization. This is not a malfunction.
• External interference may cause the camera’s
microprocessor to malfunction temporarily. If
random letters appear in the display or if normal
operation is interrupted, remove and then replace
the power source.
• If the camera still does not operate properly,
press the RESET button (on the camera body
behind the LCD panel, p. 8) using the tip of a
ball point pen (or similar). Camera functions
return to their default settings.
• Remove the cable and then reconnect it or turn
the power off and back on again.
• This is not a malfunction.

Miscellaneous
About the LCD Viewfinder
Liquid Crystal Viewfinders use extremely high-precision technology, but there will be pixels which do not
light up or which are continuously lit. This is not an error and will not affect the recording.
About the CCD
Due to the construction of the CCD, in low-light recording, small specks of light may become visible in
the viewfinder. In such cases, increase the shutter speed, reduce the gain or use an additional light source
such as a video light.
