If your JVC Camcorder isn't turning on, ensure the AC adapter is securely connected. Also, try detaching and re-attaching the battery pack firmly or replace the dead battery with a fully charged one.
Why doesn't the access/charge lamp on my JVC GZ-HD3U Camcorder light during charging?
If your JVC Camcorder's access/charge lamp doesn't light during charging, it could be due to extreme temperatures. Charging is recommended in temperatures between 10°C and 35°C (50°F to 95°F) to protect the battery. The lamp also won't light if the battery is already fully charged, so check the remaining battery power.
Why the power was turned off accidentally on JVC GZ-HD3U?
If the power of your JVC Camcorder turns off accidentally, move to a place where it is not affected by vibration or excessive sound. The drop detection function may have operated. Set the power/mode switch to OFF, and then to ON again. To turn off this function permanently, set [DROP DETECTION] to [OFF].
Why no display appears on JVC GZ-HD3U?
If no display appears on your JVC Camcorder, the camera might have turned itself off automatically to conserve power if it was not operated for 5 minutes. To turn it back on when using the battery pack, set the power/mode switch to OFF, then to ON. When using the AC adapter, perform any operation such as zooming. You can also adjust the brightness of the LCD monitor.
What to do if recording cannot be performed on JVC Camcorder?
If you can't record with your JVC Camcorder, it might be because the recording medium is full. Try deleting unnecessary files or replacing the SD card. Also, ensure you have selected the recording medium properly.
Why playback cannot be performed on JVC GZ-HD3U Camcorder?
If playback cannot be performed on your JVC Camcorder, ensure you have selected the recording medium properly. To watch images on a TV, set the TV’s input mode or channel that is appropriate for video playback.
Why images on the LCD monitor of JVC GZ-HD3U appear dark or whitish?
If images on the LCD monitor of your JVC Camcorder appear dark or whitish, adjust the brightness and angle of the LCD monitor. Should the LCD monitor’s LED light reach the end of its service life, images on the LCD monitor may become dark; in this case, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
Why the color of the image looks strange on JVC Camcorder?
If the color of the image on your JVC Camcorder looks strange, wait for the color to become natural. The camera adjusts the white balance automatically, but it takes time. You can also try manual white balance adjustment. In bright places, avoid setting “Nightalive” or using a slow shutter speed. If the recorded image is too dark, try backlight compensation or adjust the brightness. If the recorded image is too bright, try adjusting the brightness.
Why the displayed amount of remaining battery power differs from the actual operating time on JVC GZ-HD3U Camcorder?
If the displayed amount of remaining battery power on your JVC Camcorder differs from the actual operating time, fully charge the battery and then run it down. If the problem persists, the battery is likely worn out and needs to be replaced.
Why the power does not turn on, or the battery operation time is extremely short even after the battery is fully charged on JVC Camcorder?
