You have trouble saving and/or playback of pictures or videos on your camcorder.

If neither of the previous fixes work, try again using a different memory card, it is possible there is a problem with the memory card reader.

This camcorder is unable to recognize the following media formats:

• PAL
• SECAM

View these media formats on either appropriate computer software or the device it was originally formatted on.

This message appears when the power supply was interrupted while the camcorder was transferring memory from the memory card to the internal memory. Select "YES" to recover memory when prompted. If memory is not recovered, save recordings and initialize the memory.

Common errors that arise when transferring files via WiFi.

Closing the LCD panel turns off the camcorder. So, ensure you keep the panel open while you are transferring files. Ensure the memory card cover is fully closed.

Power off the camcorder, wait five minutes, then power it on again.
