What the heck does this red camcorder image sign mean in the Canon Li-ion?

Q. I have to finish this assignment due on September 9, and im having these annoying problems with my camcorder which is a Canon Li-ion. its really old, but it works. so I have to make a movie trailer. in this camcorder, you have the option to make a video on a tape, or on an SD card. I was planning to make my video on tape because number 1, its faster and not lagging, and number 2 it has better quality. but then the connecters I have (to connect the camcorder to my laptop for editing) don't work for some reason. so I have to use the SD card. I put a new SD card in, and tried recording. but everytime I press the start button, this weird red little camcorder image starts flashing on the lower left corner of the screen. my camcorder was fully charged, and it starts recording when its in tape mode. so I do not know what that red camcorder sign means. can you guys help me?

A. You need the exact model number of the camcorder. "Li-ion" is not that, it is the type of battery the camcorder uses.

Then go to canonusa.com . With the model number, you should be able to find the manual.

If not, do a web search for

Canon modelnumber manual

replacing "modelnumber" with the exact model number.

Download the manual.

Read the manual. It will tell you what the blinking red icon means.
