Explanation/Solution
Pressing the [
Recording start/stop
] button does
not start recording.
•
There is not enough free space to record on the storage media.
•
Make sure the memory card is inserted and write-protect tab is set to unlock.
•
The internal temperature of your camcorder is unusually high.
Turn off your camcorder and leave it for a while in a cool place.
•
Your camcorder is damp and moist inside (condensation).
Turn off your camcorder and leave it for about 1 hour in a cool place.
The actual recording time is less than the estimated
time.
•
The estimated recording time may vary depending on the contents and the features you used.
•
Recording a fast-moving subject increases the bit rate and consequently the amount of storage space
required for the recording, which can lead to a shorter available recording time.
The recording stops automatically.
•
There is no more free space for recording on the storage media.
Back up important files to your PC, and then format the storage media or delete the unnecessary files.
•
If you frequently record or delete files, the performance of the storage media will deteriorate.
In this case, reformat the storage media.
•
If you use a memory card with a low writing speed, the camcorder automatically stops recording the
videos and the corresponding message appears on the LCD screen.
When recording a subject illuminated by bright light,
vertical lines appear.
•
The camcorder is unable to record these levels of brightness.
