I guess the lens cover mechanism is stuck.

The default is to start a new clip every time you press the stop button, but in settings you might be able to tell the camera to continue with the same clip provided you press record again with a set time. Not sure why you want to do this though - it's much easier to edit using small clips than very large ones.

It sounds as though it may have become overheated. If it continues to show this problem and the camera is not too warm when used then it may have been damaged by the heat. Temps in cars can get very hot. It could also be a physical damage issue if the camera was not in a case and slide around unprotected.

Plug in a 3.5mm stereo "pin" plug, into the external microphone input. This will open the internal microphone circuitry and allow for silent recording.

camera has a photosensitive panel...it might get damaged...

I experienced the same thing. The compact power adapter is simply the power cord used also to recharge the camcorder. Plug it into the wall at the same time as you have the USB plugged into the computer and it should be able to download.

you have to leave in your sd card

The Date/Time command is in the DATE/TIME SETUP menu. See page 81 of this manual:

Good Evening Pat
You will be fine, its just a standard warning that comes up when you dont use the same brand memory card.
If the camera is able to record and upload the video to your computer or TV then you should have no problems at all.
I hope you enjoy the wedding.
Thanks

No it does not.

I have the same problem with my Canon Vixia HF R20 and I'm using a Lexar Pro 64Gb 133x SDXC card. When I try to initialize the card, its fails and says Process Terminated. The write-protect is off. The older class 4 SDHC card I've tried seems to work ok, which is a SanDisk 4Gb.
