How the CHG (charge) indicator lights up while the battery is charging and what it means if the indicator is blinking

Solution

You can check how much the battery pack is charged by checking how the CHG (charge) indicator lights up while the battery is charging.

- The temperature of the battery pack is outside its operating range (approximately 0 – 40 °C (32 – 104 °F)). Remove the battery pack, warm it or let it cool down, as necessary, and try charging it again.
- Charge the battery pack in temperatures between approximately 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F and 104 °F).
- The battery pack is damaged. Use a different battery pack.

If you do these things and the situation still does not improve, there could be a problem with the camcorder itself, the compact power adapter (AC adapter), or the battery, so please contact a Canon service center.
