What does it mean if an error message appears on the PC when the USB cable is disconnected from my Panasonic Camcorder?
To safely disconnect the USB cable, double-click the icon in the task tray and follow the on-screen instructions.
What to do if images or sounds cannot be seen when my Panasonic Camcorder is connected to a TV?
Select the channel on your TV that corresponds to the input used for the connection. Adjust the [TV ASPECT] setting to match the TV's aspect ratio. Note that audio during playback is not output from the unit when connected to a TV; adjust the sound on the TV instead.
Why does my Panasonic HC-X929 battery run down so quickly?
The battery may not be sufficiently charged, so charge it again. In cold environments, battery life decreases. Also, batteries have a limited lifespan. If the operating time remains short even after a full charge, the battery is worn out and needs replacement.
Why does my Panasonic HC-X929 Camcorder turn off automatically?
If the camcorder turns off when you turn off the TV using the TV remote control, the VIERA Link feature is active. If you are not using VIERA Link, disable it in the settings by setting [VIERA Link] to [OFF].
What to do if my Panasonic Camcorder does not operate normally?
Remove the battery or AC adapter, wait about 1 minute, and then reconnect it. Wait another minute before turning the unit on again. Note that doing this while the media is being accessed may damage the data. If normal operation isn't restored after this, it is recommended to consult the dealer.
Why is the remaining battery indication not displayed correctly on my Panasonic HC-X929?
The remaining battery capacity indication is an approximation. If the remaining battery capacity indication is incorrect, fully charge the battery, discharge it completely, and then fully charge it again.
Why can't I see the PDF operating instructions for HD Writer AE 5.0?
You need Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or later, or Adobe Reader 7.0 or later to read the PDF operating instructions for HD Writer AE 5.0.
Why can't scenes/still pictures be played back on my Panasonic HC-X929 Camcorder?
Scenes/still pictures displayed as thumbnails cannot be played back.
Why is the color balance strange when recording with my Panasonic HC-X929 Camcorder in a gymnasium?
In locations with multiple light sources like gymnasiums, set the White Balance to (Indoor mode 2). If clarity isn't achieved with (Indoor mode 2), use (Manual adjustment mode).
Why can't I delete scenes on my Panasonic Camcorder?
Release the protect setting to delete scenes. Scenes/still pictures displayed as thumbnails cannot be deleted. If these scenes/still pictures are unnecessary, format the media to erase the data. Formatting will erase all data, so back up important data to a PC or disc first.
