14 EN GETTING STARTED

NOTES:

Recording time is reduced significantly under the following conditions:

Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged repeatedly.

The LCD monitor is used repeatedly.

The playback mode is engaged repeatedly.

The LED Light is used.

Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.

ATTENTION:

Before detaching the power source, make sure that the camcorder’s power is turned off. Failure to do so can result in a camcorder malfunction.

Data Battery System

You can check the remaining battery power and the recordable time.

1)Make sure the battery is attached and the Power Switch is set to “OFF”.

2)Open the LCD monitor fully.

3)Press DATA, and the battery status screen appears.

It can be displayed on the viewfinder when the LCD monitor is closed.

It is displayed for approx. 3 seconds if the button is pressed and released quickly, and for approx. 15 seconds if the button is pressed and hold for several seconds.

If “COMMUNICATION ERROR” appears instead of the battery status even though you tried to press DATA several times, there may be a problem with your battery. In such a case, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

Using AC Power

Perform step 4 in “Charging The Battery Pack”.

NOTE:

The provided AC Adapter features automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.
