Troubleshooting
First, try out the following procedures (P378 to P393) .
• The battery is exhausted.
> Charge the battery.
• If you leave the camera on, the battery will be exhausted.
> Turn the camera off frequently by using the [Economy] etc. (P78)
• [Economy] is enabled. (P78)
• Is the linked operation of VIERA Link enabled?
> If you are not using VIERA Link, set [VIERA Link] to [OFF]. (P81)
• Insert the battery securely all the way in. (P31)
• Is the drive mode set to [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst])? When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) is selected, the
battery drains faster.
> Select [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) only when recording.
• Is a Wi-Fi connection being used for a long period of time?
The battery can become flat quickly when connected to Wi-Fi.
> Turn the camera off frequently by using the [Economy] etc. (P78)
• When the drive mode is set to [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]), the camera temperature rises. In some
cases, the camera may display [ ], switch to [ ] ([4K Burst]) and stop the recording to
protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.
• Is the subject focused?
> Is [Focus/Release Priority] in the [Custom] menu set to [FOCUS]? (P157)
You cannot take a picture until the subject is brought into focus.
If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] (P82) on the
