What does 'UNFORMAT DISC' mean on my Hitachi DZ-GX5020A?
If your Hitachi Camcorder displays 'UNFORMAT DISC', it means an unformatted or logically damaged disc was loaded. Try formatting the disc, but be aware that this will erase all data. If that doesn't work, the disc may be dirty, so clean it, or replace the disc entirely.
Why does my Hitachi DZ-GX5020A Camcorder show 'Card error'?
If your Hitachi Camcorder displays 'Card error', it could be because the card terminals are dirty. Try cleaning them with a dry cloth. It can also appear if data other than photos is recorded on the card, in which case you should replace the card.
What does 'Disc error has occurred' mean on my Hitachi Camcorder?
If your Hitachi Camcorder shows 'Disc error has occurred', it might be due to a dirty disc. Clean the disc. It could also be because the disc has been edited on another device, causing a data mismatch. In this case, format the disc (this will erase all data) or replace it.
What to do if my Hitachi DZ-GX5020A says 'Card full'?
If your Hitachi Camcorder displays 'Card full', it means the recording capacity of the card has reached its limit. You can either replace the card with a new one or delete unnecessary stills to free up space.
What to do if my Hitachi Camcorder says 'CHECK DISC'?
If your Hitachi Camcorder displays 'CHECK DISC', it may be because the disc is dirty, scratched, or distorted. Clean the disc, or if it's damaged, replace it with a new one. Also, ensure that the disc type is compatible with your camcorder.
