      If abnormal characters appear on the screen and your Canon Camcorder isn't operating properly, it might be due to external noise or static electricity affecting the microcomputer. Try disconnecting the power source, waiting briefly, and then reconnecting it. If the issue continues, disconnect the power and press the RESET button using a pointed object.
