  If your Panasonic Camcorder won't turn on, stay on, or the battery drains quickly, first, ensure the battery is fully charged by charging it again. Keep in mind that battery life decreases in cold environments. Also, batteries have a limited lifespan. If the operating time remains short after a full charge, the battery is likely worn out and needs replacing.

Why does my Panasonic HC-V180 stop recording by itself?
- J
  Jeffery LongSep 2, 2025
  If your Panasonic Camcorder stops recording unexpectedly, ensure you are using an SD card suitable for motion picture recording. The recordable time may be reduced due to the data writing speed or repeated recording and deletion. Try formatting the SD card using the camcorder. Also, if [AGS] is set to [ON], record in the normal horizontal position or set [AGS] to [OFF].
