      If the remaining battery time indicator on your Sony Camcorder Accessories doesn't show the correct time, it could be due to the ambient temperature being too high or too low, or the battery pack not being fully charged. Try fully charging the battery pack again. If the problem continues, the battery pack may be worn out and need replacement.

    What to do if Sony HVR-DR60 - 60GB Hard Disk Recorder Camcorder Accessories REC switch does not record images?
    • S
      Sandra JohnsonAug 18, 2025
      If your Sony Camcorder Accessories fail to record images when sliding the REC switch, there are several possible reasons. First, ensure that the POWER switch is set to VIDEO. If it's set to COMPUTER, recording will not be possible; slide the POWER switch to VIDEO. Also, if the unit is full, delete any unnecessary images to free up space. If the temperature of the unit is extremely high, turn it off and leave it in a cool place for a while. Conversely, if the temperature is extremely low, leave the unit on for a while. Lastly, if the folder number shows 999 and the file number shows 9999, delete unrequired images or format the unit.
