7 Frequently asked questions (FAQ) Why is there no response when I use the camcorder? $ The camcorder is in power-off mode. Turn on the camcorder (see ‘Get started’ > ‘Turn on’). $ The built-in battery may be drained. Charge the battery (see ‘Get started’ > ‘Charge the built-in battery’). Why is [Memory full!] displayed when I try to record? $ Ensure that the Micro SD card has been inserted correctly (see ‘Get started’ > ‘Load the Micro SD card’). $ The memory is used up.
Why does the camcorder sometimes not record the right color? $ To record both indoors and outdoors, and not having to change any settings, the camcorder has an automatic whitebalance correction. This enables you to record both indoors and outdoors where the amount of light in the environment changes. If you move fast from outdoors to indoors, the camcorder might need some time to correct that, and in extreme cases the colors might seem a bit unnatural.
18 EN Don’t move too fast when panning = > as it will be hard to follow what is captured when you review the video Try shooting from different angles – for example, from the side, from the front, or even from below.
