      Your Panasonic Camcorder might be turning off automatically because of the VIERA Link feature. If you're not using VIERA Link, disable it in the settings by setting [VIERA Link] to [OFF]. Also, if the unit turns off when a USB Connection Cable is removed while connected to a DVD burner, this is expected behavior.
