    Why does my Canon Camcorder battery pack will not charge?
    • B
      Bianca MorenoAug 20, 2025
      Your Canon Camcorder battery pack may not charge because the temperature is outside the range of 0°C and 40°C. Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 0°C and 40°C. Also, battery packs become hot with use and may not charge, so wait until the battery pack temperature is below 40°C and retry charging. Finally, the battery pack might be damaged; try using a different battery pack.

    What to do if “SET THE TIME ZONE, DATE AND TIME” appears on the screen of my Canon MV901 Camcorder?
    • P
      powersannaSep 6, 2025
      If “SET THE TIME ZONE, DATE AND TIME” appears on the screen of your Canon Camcorder, it means the time zone, date, and time are not set. Set the time zone, date, and time. Alternatively, the backup battery may be exhausted. Replace the backup battery and reset the time zone, date, and time. Another possibility is that the backup battery is inserted the wrong way. Insert the backup battery with the + side facing outward and set the time zone, date, and time.
