Video recordings are incomplete/choppy

[jonahmo]

When I record, it doesn't show the time thing (0:00:00) moving, but it does record.  But the recordings are super abbreviated/choppy - hours of taping end up being seconds in length.  Same thing with two different SD cards, both of which worked fine days ago.  Any suggestions?  (Vixia HFR700)

Hi Jonahmo,

Thank you for posting.

So we may better assist you, please provide the following information:

1. Have you initialized your memory cards, using the camcorder's "Complete Initialization" option, as described on page of the VIXIA HF R700 Instruction Manual?
   • (Please note: This process erases all data from the memory card, so please save any recordings to your computer before trying this step.)
2. Which brand(s) and/or model memory cards have you tried in your camcorder?
