Preparations
This chapter describes basic operations, such as navigating the menus, and first time settings to help you learn more about your camcorder.
Getting Started
Charging the Battery Pack
The camcorder can be powered with a battery pack or directly using the compact power adapter. The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to Charging, Recording and Playback Times (
