Troubleshooting (Continued)
The CHG lamp blinks during charging the battery pack.
• Attach the battery pack correctly (p. 13). If the CHG lamp still continues blinking, the battery
pack may be damaged. Disconnect the power plug and consult your Sony dealer.
• If the temperature of the battery pack is too high or too low, the battery pack may not be
charged and the CHG lamp may blink slowly.
The remaining battery time indicator does not indicate the correct time.
• Ambient temperature is too high or too 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. 13, 96).
• The indicated time may not be correct in certain circumstances. For example, when you open
or close the LCD panel, it takes about 1 minute to display the correct remaining battery time.
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. 13, 96).
The image 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.
The image in the viewfinder is not clear.
• Move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever until the image appears clearly (p. 17).
The image in the viewfinder has disappeared.
• If you set [VF POWERMODE] to [AUTO], the finder light remains off while the LCD panel
is open (p. 75).
The supplied Wireless Remote Commander does not function.
• Set [REMOTE CONTROL] to [ON] (p. 76).
• Remove any obstructions between the Wireless Remote Commander and the remote sensor
of the camcorder.
• Keep strong light sources, such as sunlight or overhead lighting, away from the remote
sensor, otherwise the Wireless Remote Commander may not function properly.
• Insert a fresh battery in the compartment with its +/– terminals matching those of the
compartment (p. 109).
