Troubleshooting
• 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. 18, 112).
The picture 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 picture in the viewfinder is not clear.
• Move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever until the picture appears clearly (p. 22).
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. 76).
The supplied Remote Commander does not function.
• Set [REMOTE CTRL] to [ON] (p. 83).
• 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.

compartment (
p. 127).
Another VCR malfunctions when you use the supplied Remote Commander.
