Why are the controls on my Canon Camcorder not responsive?
If the controls on your Canon Camcorder are not responsive, the grip unit’s plug may not be correctly connected to the camcorder. When attaching the grip unit to the camcorder, make sure the grip unit’s plug is firmly inserted all the way into the connection terminal on the camcorder. Also, when the Q switch is set to C, all buttons except for the START/STOP button are locked and cannot be operated, so set the Q switch to CAMERA.

The combined available space on both SD cards may be low, so replace the SD card.
