Troubleshooting
ProblemCheck points
This unit cannot be 
turned on.
This unit does not stay 
on long enough.
Battery runs down 
quickly.≥Charge the battery using the AC adaptor. (l22)
≥The battery protection circuit may have operated. Attach 
the battery to the AC adaptor for 5 to 10 seconds. If the unit 
still cannot be used, the battery is faulty.
≥Make sure the LCD monitor is opened.
≥The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In cold 
places, the battery using time becomes shorter.
≥The battery has a limited life. If the operating time is still too 
short even after the battery is fully charged, the battery has 
worn out and needs to be replaced.
This unit is turned off 
automatically.≥If you do not use the unit for approximately 5 minutes, the 
power is automatically turned off to conserve battery life. To 
resume recording, turn the power back on.
The power will not turn off automatically when the power 
save function (l30) is set to [OFF].
≥If you connect to a TV compatible with VIERA Link with a 
HDMI mini cable and turn off the power on the TV with the 
remote control for the TV, the power on this unit also turns 
off. If you are not using VIERA Link, set [VIERA Link] to 
[OFF]. (l87)
≥When this unit is connected to a DVD burner to copy or play 
back images (a disc is being accessed), the power turns off 
automatically if the Mini AB USB connection cable is 
removed.
The minute display of the 
remaining battery power 
indication is not 
displayed correctly.≥The remaining battery capacity indication is an 
approximation.
If you think the remaining battery capacity indication is not 
displayed correctly, fully charge the battery, discharge it and 
then charge it again. (Even if this operation is performed, it 
may not be possible to display the remaining battery 
capacity correctly if the battery was used for a long period 
of time where the temperature was low or high or if the 
battery was repeatedly charged.)
