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).
What to do if my Panasonic HC-X929 is not detected by the PC when connected by USB cable?
Try re-inserting the SD card into the unit and reconnecting the supplied USB cable. You can also try a different USB terminal on your PC. Restart your PC and turn on the unit again before reconnecting the USB cable.
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.
How to fix the Auto Focus function on my Panasonic Camcorder?
Switch to Intelligent Auto Mode or Intelligent Auto Plus Mode. If you're recording a scene difficult to focus on in Auto Focus Mode, use Manual Focus Mode to adjust the focus.
Why does my Panasonic HC-X929 Camcorder arbitrarily stop recording?
Ensure you are using an SD card suitable for motion picture recording. The recording time may be reduced due to decreased data writing speed or repeated recording and deletion. Try formatting the SD card or built-in memory using the unit. If [AGS] is [ON], record in the normal horizontal position or set [AGS] to [OFF].
What to do if my Panasonic HC-X929 displays “ERROR OCCURRED. PLEASE TURN UNIT OFF, THEN TURN ON AGAIN.”?
This message indicates the unit has detected an error. Try restarting the unit by turning it off and then on again. The unit will turn off automatically in about 1 minute if you don't turn it off and on. If the error persists after restarting, the unit may require repair, and 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.
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 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].
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.
