Why Panasonic Camcorder will not turn on?
- R
  Rebecca McdowellAug 21, 2025
  Your Panasonic Camcorder might not turn on for several reasons. First, try charging the battery using the AC adapter. If that doesn't work, the battery protection circuit may have activated; attach the battery to the AC adapter for 5 to 10 seconds. If it still fails to power on, the battery could be faulty. Ensure that the LCD monitor is open. Also, keep in mind that ambient temperature affects battery performance, with shorter usage times in cold environments. Finally, the battery may have reached the end of its lifespan and needs replacement if it still doesn't last long after a full charge.

  If your Panasonic camcorder isn't recording even with power and a correctly inserted SD card, check that the SD card’s write protect switch is not set to LOCK. Also, ensure there is available memory on the SD card; if it's full, delete unnecessary scenes or use a new SD card. Finally, make sure the SD card cover is closed, as the unit may not operate normally if it's open.
