    About recovery
    If faulty management information is found, the messages may appear and a repair is 
    performed. (Repairing may take time depending on the error.)
    ≥The above message is displayed when abnormal management information is detected 
    when the scenes are displayed in thumbnail. To perform the repair, touch the scene with 
     in the thumbnail, and start the playback. Please be aware that if the repair fails, 
    scenes with   will be deleted.
    ≥ Use a sufficiently charged battery or the AC adaptor.
    ≥ Depending on the condition of the data, it may not be possible to completely repair the 
    data.
    ≥ If recovery fails, it will not be possible to play back scenes recorded before the unit turned 
    off.
    ≥ When data recorded on another device is recovered, it may not be possible to play back 
    the data on this unit or the other device.
    ≥ If recovery fails, turn the unit off and on again after waiting a while. If recovery fails 
    repeatedly, format a media on the unit. Please be aware that if a media is formatted, then 
    all the data recorded on the media will be erased.
    ≥ If the thumbnail information is recovered, displaying the thumbnails may become slower.
    SOME SCENES NEED REPAIRING. PLAY SCENES TO BE REPAIRED. 
    (IRREPARABLE SCENES WILL BE DELETED.)

    Troubleshooting
    Power
    ProblemCheck points
    This unit cannot be 
    turned on.
    This unit does not stay 
    on long enough.
    Battery runs down 
    quickly. ≥
    Charge the battery again to ensure it is sufficiently 
    charged. ( l16)
    ≥ 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 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]. ( l107)
    ≥ When this unit is connected to a DVD burner to copy or 
    play back images (a disc is being accessed), the unit 
    turns off automatically if the USB Connection Cable is 
    removed.
    This unit cannot be 
    operated though it is 
    turned on.
    This unit does not 
    operate normally. ≥
    Remove the battery or AC adaptor, wait about 1 minute 
    and then reconnect the battery or AC adaptor. Then 
    about 1 minute later, turn on the unit again. (Conducting 
    the above operation while the media is being accessed 
    may damage the data on the media.)
    ≥ If normal operation is still not restored, detach the power 
    connected, and consult the dealer who you purchased 
    this unit from.
    “ERROR OCCURRED. 
    PLEASE TURN UNIT 
    OFF, THEN TURN ON 
    AGAIN.” is displayed. ≥
    The unit has automatically detected an error. Restart the 
    unit by turning off and on.
    ≥ The unit will be turned off in about 1 minute if the unit is 
    not turned off and on.
    ≥ Repair is needed if it is repeatedly displayed even if it is 
    restarted. Detach the power connected, and consult the 
    dealer who you purchased this unit from. Do not attempt 
    to repair the unit by yourself.

    Indication
    ProblemCheck points
    Remaining battery 
    indication is not 
    displayed properly. ≥
    The remaining battery capacity indication is an 
    approximation.
    If the remaining battery capacity indication is not 
    displayed correctly, fully charge the battery, discharge it 
    and then charge it again.
    Recording
    ProblemCheck points
    The unit arbitrarily stops 
    recording. ≥
    Use an SD card that can be used for motion picture 
    recording. ( l20)
    ≥ The recordable time may have shortened due to the 
    deterioration of the data writing speed or repeated 
    recording and deletion. Using the unit, format the SD 
    card, built-in memory or HDD. ( l46)
    ≥ If [AGS] is [ON], record in the normal horizontal position 
    or set [AGS] to [OFF]. ( l70)
    ≥ If the unit is exposed to strong vibrations or shocks while 
    recording on HDD, recording may stop to protect the 
    HDD. If the unit is used in a place with loud sounds, the 
    recording may stop due to sound vibrations. Recording 
    data on an SD card is recommended in these places.
    Auto focus function 
    does not work. ≥
    Switch to intelligent auto mode.
    ≥ If you are trying to record a scene which is hard to bring 
    into focus in auto focus mode, use the manual focus 
    mode to adjust the focus. ( l35, 83)
    Colour balance of 
    images is strange when 
    recording in a place 
    such as a gymnasium. ≥
    In a place with multiple light sources, such as a 
    gymnasium or a hall, set the white balance setting to   
    (Indoor mode 2). If you cannot record clearly with the   
    (Indoor mode 2), set it to   (Manual adjustment mode). 
    (l 81)
    Colour or brightness of 
    the image changes, or 
    you may see horizontal 
    bars in the image.
    The LCD monitor flickers 
    indoors. ≥
    Colour 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 1/100 in areas 
    where the power supply frequency is 50 Hz, or 1/125 in 
    areas of 60 Hz.
    ≥ In still picture recording mode, this will not affect the 
    recorded image.

    							146VQT3K80
    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.
    Playback
    ProblemCheck points
    Any scenes/still pictures 
    cannot be played back. ≥
    Any scenes/still pictures where the thumbnails are 
    displayed as   cannot be played back.
    Scenes cannot be 
    deleted. ≥
    Release the protect setting. (l 99)
    ≥ Any scenes/still pictures where the thumbnails are 
    displayed as   cannot be deleted. If the scenes/still 
    pictures are unnecessary, format the media to erase the 
    data. ( l46) Please be aware that if a media is formatted 
    then all the data recorded on the media is erased and 
    cannot be recovered. Back up important data on a PC, 
    disc etc.
    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.

    ∫If scenes do not change smoothly when played back on another 
    device (AVCHD, 1080/50p)
    The images may be still for several seconds at  the joins between the scenes if the following 
    operations are performed when multiple scenes have been continuously played back using 
    another unit.
    ≥ Just how smoothly the scenes will be play ed back depends on the playback unit. 
    Depending on the unit used, the images may stop moving and become still for a moment 
    even when none of the following conditions are applicable.
    ≥ A continuous recording of motion picture data that exceeds 4 GB may momentarily stop at 
    every 4 GB of data when played back with another device.
    ≥ It may not play back smoothly when the editing of scenes was done with the HD Writer AE 
    3.0, but it will play back smoothly if you set the seamless settings in the HD Writer AE 3.0. 
    Refer to the operating instructions for the HD Writer AE 3.0.
    Principal reasons for not playing back smoothly
    ≥ When the scenes were recorded on different dates
    ≥ When scenes lasting under 3 seconds have been recorded
    ≥ When PRE-REC was used for recording
    ≥ When the interval recording is used
    ≥ When deleting scenes
    ≥ When selected scenes are copied between an SD card and the built-in memory/
    HDD
    ≥ When selected scenes are copied to a disc in a connected DVD burner
    ≥ When scenes recorded more than 99 scenes on the same date
