Troubleshooting (Continued) The cassette is noisier during rewinding or fast-forwarding. • When using the AC Adaptor, rewind/fast forward speed increases (compared with battery operation) and therefore increases noise. This is not a malfunction. You cannot delete pictures or format the "Memory Stick Duo." • Release the lock on the write-protect tab of the "Memory Stick Duo" if there is one (p. 107). • The pictures are protected. Release the protect function on your computer, etc. Recording The recording does not start when you press the REC START/STOP button. • Slide the POWER switch to CAMERA (p. 28). • The tape has reached the end. Rewind it, or insert a new cassette. • Set the write-protect tab of the cassette to REC or insert a new cassette (p. 105). • The tape is stuck to the drum due to moisture condensation. Remove the cassette and leave your camcorder for at least 1 hour, then re-insert the cassette (p. 111). The handle zoom does not work. • Set the handle zoom switch to H or L (p. 33). You cannot record on the "Memory Stick Duo." • Release the lock on the write-protect tab of the "Memory Stick Duo" if there is one (p. 107). • The "Memory Stick Duo" is full. Delete unnecessary pictures recorded on the "Memory Stick Duo" (p. 82). • Format the "Memory Stick Duo" on your camcorder or insert another "Memory Stick Duo" (p. 72). • You cannot record still images on the "Memory Stick Duo" with: - While executing [FADER] - [SMTH SLW REC] - When the shutter speed is set to slower than 1/60 - While checking/executing shot transition • Set [PHOTO/EXP.FOCUS] to [PHOTO](p. 74). You cannot record a smooth transition on a tape from the last recorded scene to the next. • Perform End search (p. 44). • Do not remove the cassette (the picture will be recorded continuously without a break even when you turn the power off). • Do not record pictures in the HDV and DV formats on the same tape. • Do not record pictures in SP mode and LP mode on the same tape. • Avoid stopping then recording a movie in the LP mode. • When [QUICK REC] is set to [ON], you cannot record a smooth transition (p. 75). 94
