Troubleshooting

Camcorder won't turn on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check the power adapter connection if using AC power. Try a different battery if available.

Verify that the correct output is selected in the camera's menu and that the cable is securely connected to both the camcorder and the external device. Check the output resolution and frame rate settings.

Autofocus is slow or inaccurate

Ensure Dual Pixel CMOS AF is enabled. Clean the lens. Check if the subject is too far or too close for the AF system. Utilize manual focus for critical shots.

Poor audio quality

Check microphone connections to the XLR inputs. Ensure phantom power is enabled for condenser microphones. Adjust audio input levels in the camera menu. Use the detachable handle for optimal XLR microphone placement.
