TEMPERATURE ICON

The Temperature icon appears on the camera status screen
when the camera becomes too hot and needs to cool
down. Simply let it sit and cool before attempting to use it
again. Your camera was designed to identify conditions of
overheating and shuts down when needed.

FILE REPAIR ICON

If recording stopped abruptly and the video file was not
properly saved, the file might become corrupted. If this
happens, the camera displays the File Repair icon while it
tries to repair the file. When this process is finished, you
receive a message stating whether the repair was successful
or failed. Press any button to continue using the camera.
