Reference 

page

Battery cannot be 
charged.

Is the ambient temperature too low or too high?
Charge the battery at 10-30°C.

21

Is the battery abnormally hot?
Remove the battery, leave it for a while to cool down, then charge it.

Is the DC power cord connected to AC adaptor/charger? Unplug it.

Has the battery been unused for a long time?
Remove the battery, and then reattach it. If the battery is still not 
charged, it may be dead: Purchase a new one.

*

If the battery does not charge after you try the above four 
procedures, it may be dead. Purchase a new battery.

Battery weakens fast.

Are you using the DVD Video Camera where the temperature is very 
low?
A fully charged battery may be discharged sooner than usual at low 
temperatures. Keep extra batteries on hand.

41

Battery may be dead.
The performance of battery will deteriorate if it is used for an 
extended period of time or frequently. Purchase a new battery.

42

The CHARGE indicator 
on AC adaptor/charger is 
blinking.

Is the ambient temperature too low or too high?
Charge the battery in environment where the temperature is 
10-30°C. 
The battery has possibly discharged excessively. Continue 
charging. After a while, the battery will be charged to the specified 
voltage, and the CHARGE indicator will light. Then the battery 
charge will be completed normally.

41

Power turns off 
immediately after being 
turned on.

Is battery charged?
Charge it.

21

When power is turned 
on, the LCD screen will 
turn on and off.

Power goes off 
unexpectedly.

Is Power Save set to “On”? 
If the powered DVD Video Camera is left for as long as 5 minutes 
without recording or playback with “Power Save: On” specified, it will 
automatically turn off to save battery power. To restart recording in 
this case, set the power switch to “OFF” and then set it to “

”. You 

can also specify “Power Save: Off” to stop automatic power off.

86

Power cannot be turned 
off.

Detach the battery or AC adaptor/charger once, and then press the 
RESET button of DVD Video Camera: Reattach a power supply to 
DVD Video Camera before turning it on again.
