Battery runs down 
quickly. ≥
Charge the battery again to ensure it is sufficiently 
charged. ( l23)
≥ 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 the power of the unit turns off when you turn off the 
power to the TV using the TV remote control, the 
VIERA Link is at work. If you are not using the 
VIERA Link, set [VIERA Link] to [OFF]. ( l97)

or play back images (a disc is being accessed), the 
power turns off automatically if the Mini AB USB 
Connection Cable is removed.
A clicking sound is

Color or brightness of 
the image changes, or 
you may see 
horizontal bars in the 
image.
The LCD monitor 
flickers indoors.≥
Color or brightness of the image may change, or you 
may see horizontal bars in the image when the object 
is recorded under fluorescent light, mercury light or 
sodium light, etc., but this is not a malfunction.
≥ In Motion Picture Recording Mode, record in 
Intelligent Auto Mode or set the shutter speed to 1/60 
in areas where the power supply frequency is 60 Hz, 
or 1/100 in areas of 50 Hz.
≥ In Still Picture Recording Mode, this will not affect the 
recorded image.
Object seems to be 
warped. ≥
Object seems to be warped slightly when the object 
moves across the image very fast, but this is 
because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. 
This is not a malfunction.
White round spots like 
soap bubbles appear 
on the recorded 
picture. ≥
If you take a picture with the 
flash in a dark place or 
indoors, white round spots 
may appear on the picture 
caused by the flash 
reflecting of particles of dust in the air. This is not a 
malfunction.
A characteristic of this is that the number of round 
spots and their position differ in every picture.

PLEASE TURN UNIT 
OFF, THEN TURN ON 
AGAIN.” is displayed. ≥
The unit has automatically detected an error. Restart 
the unit by turning the power off and on.
