Getting started
Installing the batteries
Before using your camcorder, you first need to install two LR6 (size AA) Sony batteries or the charged battery pack. Use the supplied LR6 (size AA) Sony batteries or the NP- F10 "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack.
When you install or remove the batteries, be sure to turn off the camcorder to prevent misoperation of the camcorder.
You can also use house current as a power source. (P. 10)

(2) Install two LR6 (size AA) batteries or the battery pack in the direction of the arrow. Then close the lid and slide it until it clicks.
