160 Additional Information
A noise can be heard from the compact power adapter.
- A faint sound can be heard while the compact power adapter is connected to a power outlet.
This is not a malfunction.

Recording
Pressing Y will not start recording.
- You cannot record while the camcorder is writing previous recordings onto the memory (while
the ACCESS indicator is on or flashing). Wait until the camcorder has finished.
- The memory is full or it already contains the maximum number of AVCHD movies (3,999
scenes). Delete some recordings (A 53) or initialize the memory (A 29) to free some
space.
- The file or folder number has reached its maximum value. Save your recordings (A 105),
set 1 > q > [File Numbering] to [Reset] and initialize the memory (A 29).
The point where Y was pressed does not match the beginning/end of the
recording.
- There is a slight interval between pressing Y and the actual start/end of record-
ing. This is not a malfunction.
The camcorder will not focus.
- Autofocus does not work on the subject. Focus manually (A 76).
- The lens is dirty. Clean the lens (A 179).
When a subject flits across in front of the lens, the image appears slightly bent.
- This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors. When a subject crosses very quickly in
front of the camcorder, the image may seem slightly warped. This is not a malfunction.
Changing the operating mode between recording (Ü)/recording standby (Ñ)/playback (Ð)
takes longer than usual.
- When the memory contains a large number of scenes, some operations may take longer than
usual. Save your recordings (A 105) and initialize the memory (A 29).
Movies or photos cannot be recorded properly.
- This may occur as movies and photos are recorded/deleted over time. Save your recordings
(A 105) and initialize the memory using the [Complete Initialization] option (A 29).
Cannot record a photo while recording movies.
- You cannot take photos in mode or while fading in or fading out a scene (A 74).
After using the camcorder for a long time, it becomes hot.
- The camcorder may become hot after using it continuously for long periods of time; this is not
a malfunction. If the camcorder becomes unusually hot or it becomes hot after using it only for
a short while, it may indicate a problem with the camcorder. Consult a Canon Service Center.
