Why won't my Canon optura Xi Camcorder start recording when I press the start/stop button?

Several factors can prevent your Canon Camcorder from recording. Ensure the camcorder is set to CAMERA mode. Check if the time zone, date, and time are set, and if not, set them or replace the backup battery. Also, make sure the camcorder is turned on and a cassette is loaded. If the tape has reached the end, rewind or replace it. Ensure the cassette is not protected, and if autofocus isn't working, try focusing manually. Adjust the viewfinder if necessary, or clean the lens if it's dirty.
