Troubleshooting
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 Center.
The built-in ND filter is stuck and does not change.
- The electronic motor that drives the ND filter may not be working correctly. As an emergency measure, you can
operate the ND filter manually (A 182). Eventually, consult a Canon Service Center.
Playback
Cannot delete a clip.
- You cannot delete clips with an $ mark. Remove the $ mark (A 133) to delete the clip.
Deleting clips takes longer than usual.
- When the CF card contains a large number of clips, some operations may take longer than usual. Save your clips
(A 143) and initialize the CF card (A 45).
Cannot delete a photo.
- The photo is protected. Remove the protection (A 151).
- The LOCK switch on the SD card is set to prevent accidental erasure. Change the position of the LOCK switch.
Cannot copy clips.
