      Brandon MooreSep 5, 2025
      If your JVC Camcorder accidentally turns off, it might be due to vibration or excessive sound triggering the drop detection function. Try moving to a more stable environment. You can also turn off the drop detection function by setting [DROP DETECTION] to [OFF]. To turn the camera back on, set the power/mode switch to OFF, and then to ON again.
