Troubleshooting
The picture in the viewfinder is not clear.
• Move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever until the picture appears clearly (p. 18).
The picture in the viewfinder has disappeared.
• If you change [VF POWERMODE] to [AUTO], the finder light remains off while the LCD
panel is open (p. 81).
The supplied Remote Commander does not function.
• Set [REMOTE CTRL] to [ON] (p. 92).
• Remove any obstructions between the Remote Commander and the remote sensor.
• Keep strong light sources, such as sunlight or overhead lighting, away from the remote
sensor, otherwise the Remote Commander may not function properly.
• Insert a fresh battery in the compartment with its +/– terminals matching those of the
compartment (p.135).
Another VCR malfunctions when you use the supplied Remote Commander.
• Select a commander mode other than VTR 2 for your VCR.
• Cover the sensor of your VCR with black paper.
The cassette cannot be ejected from the compartment.
• Make sure the power source (battery pack or AC Adaptor/Charger) is connected correctly
(p. 14).
• Moisture condensation has occurred inside the camcorder (p. 122).
The Cassette Memory indicator or title display does not appear while using a
cassette with Cassette Memory.
• This camcorder does not support Cassette Memory, so the indicator does not appear.
The remaining tape indicator is not displayed.
• Set [ REMAINING] to [ON] to always display the remaining tape indicator (p. 81).
The cassette is noisier during rewinding or fast-forwarding.
• When using the DK-415 cable rewind/fast forward speed increases (compared with battery
operation) and therefore increases noise. This is not a malfunction.
You cannot delete pictures or format the “Memory Stick Duo.”
• The pictures are protected. Release the protect function on your computer, etc.
