Recording
Pressing Y will not start recording.
- You cannot record while the camcorder is writing previous recordings onto the memory (while
the ACCESS indicator is on or flashing). Wait until the camcorder has finished.
- The memory is full or it already contains the maximum number of scenes of AVCHD movies
(3,999 scenes). Delete some recordings ( A 56, 58) or initialize the memory (A 33) to free
some space.
- The file numbers for MP4 movies and photos have reached their maximum value. Set
> q > [File Numbering] to [Reset] and insert a new memory card.
The point where Y was pressed does not match the beginning/end of the
recording.
- There is a slight interval between pressing Y and the actual start/end of record-
ing. This is not a malfunction.
The camcorder will not focus.
- Autofocus does not work on the subject. Focus manually ( A 80).
- The lens is dirty. Clean the lens with a soft lens-cleaning cloth ( A 179). Never use tissue
paper to clean the lens.
When a subject flits across in front of the lens, the image appears slightly bent.
- This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors. When a subject crosses very quickly in
front of the camcorder, the image may seem slightly warped. This is not a malfunction.
Changing the operating mode between recording ( Ü)/record pause (Û)/playback (Ð)
takes longer than usual.
- When the memory contains a large number of scenes, some operations may take longer than
usual. Save your recordings ( A 111) and initialize the memory (A 33).
Movies or photos cannot be recorded properly.
- This may occur as movies and photos are recorded/deleted over time. Save your recordings
( A 111) and initialize the memory using the [Complete Initialization] option (A 33).
Cannot record a photo while recording movies.
- You cannot take photos in mode or while fading in or fading out a scene ( A 78).
