Recording
Pressing 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 (3,999 scenes).
Delete some recordings ( 53, 90) or initialize the memory ( 38) to free some space.
The point where was pressed does not match the beginning/end of the
recording.
- There is a slight interval between pressing 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 ( 61).
- The lens or Instant AF sensor is dirty. Clean the lens or sensor with a soft lens-cleaning cloth
( 167). 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 between recording ( )/record pause ( )/playback ( ) takes longer than
usual.
- When the memory contains a large number of scenes, some operations may take longer than
usual. Save your recordings ( 111) and initialize the memory ( 38).
Movies or photos cannot be recorded properly.
- This may occur as movies and photos are recorded/deleted over time. Save your recordings
( 111) and initialize the memory ( 38).
After using the camcorder for a long time, it becomes hot.
- The camcorder may become hot after using it continuously for long periods of time; this is not
a malfunction. If the camcorder becomes unusually hot or it becomes hot after using it only
for a short while, it may indicate a problem with the camcorder. Consult a Canon Service Cen-
ter.
Playback
Cannot add scenes to the playlist.
- The playlist can contain a maximum of 999 scenes. If the playlist includes scenes recorded in
FXP mode, the maximum number of scenes in the playlist may be less than 999.
- You may not be able to add scenes to the playlist if they were recorded or edited using
another device.
- The memory is full. Delete some recordings ( 53, 90) or initialize the memory ( 38) to
free some space.
