Powering Your Camcorder

This section describes three ways to supply power to your camcorder:

AC Adapter/Charger

Battery

Car Cord Adapter (Optional)

Using the Adapter/Charger

The adapter/charger lets you power your camcorder directly from standard household power. It operates on 100-240 volts, 50/60 Hz, so it can be used virtually anywhere in the world to power the camcorder or recharge the battery. You may need a plug adapter in some countries. Consult your dealer.
