Troubleshooting

Symptom/Situation Possible	Cause/Solution
The flash is not working.	The battery power is low.
	The camcorder is in DC power mode.
	In flash auto mode, camcorder flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example).
The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” marking.	The “!” means the SD card is low speed or is having wrong content inside. The way to solve this condition is to format SD card by the camcorder instead of a PC (Please refer to the detailed Format instruction in Section 5).
	Please change the SD/SDHC/SDXC card to a high speed one.
Why do some of my indoor photos look blurry and dark?	The camcorder extends photo exposure time under low light/indoor condition. Keep the camcorder (and the target subject) steady for several seconds when taking photos. The shutter will sound when photos are being taken.
How do I charge battery?	Please charge the battery for at least 8 hours prior to its first use. Afterwards, it will take approximately 4 or 5 hours to fully charge the battery by AC adapter.
	Use the supplied AC charger or the USB cable. The camcorder must be turned OFF. The blinking light confirms the camcorder is currently charging, and the light becomes constant after the charging is completed.
	In AC charging Mode, the light will turn itself off automatically after 3~5 minutes. (Actual charging time may vary. It depends on the battery conditions.)
After connecting the USB cable to the computer, ......	The disk [DV] indicates the internal memory of the camcorder. (The disk label may be different according to different model and PC OS.)
	[Removable Disk] indicates the external memory. (Under the circumstances of within the SD/SDHC/SDXC card in the camcorder)
	The disk [DVAP] indicates the built-in Internet Direct application is saved at this disk. Please DO NOT format this disk or delete the application inside; otherwise, the Internet Direct application can not function.
