WHEN TRYING TO USE THIS CAMCORDER I HAVE A SCREEN MESSAGE "RE INSERT CARTRIDGE". THE MANUAL INDICATES THIS MAY BE FROM A DEFECTIVE CARTRIDGE; HOWEVER, EVEN NEW CARTRIDGES HAVE SAME MESSAGE. THIS OCCURS WITH BOTH FULLY CHARGED BATTERY AND/OR ON EXTERNAL POWER. PRESSING "RESET" DOES NOT CORRECT PROBLEM.
