Let’s Get Started

Notes

•The battery pack will not be charged while the DC power cord is connected to the AC adapter/charger even if the battery pack is attached to the AC adapter/charger.

•The AC adapter/charger can be used around the world. An AC plug adapter is required in some foreign countries. If you need one, purchase it from your local electronics distributor.

AC 200-240V

AC Plug Adapter (not supplied)

„Detaching the DC power cord/battery pack from the camcorder

Always turn the power off before disconnecting the power supply.

While pressing and holding BATT, slide the DC connector or battery pack upward, then remove it.

• Be careful not to drop the battery pack while detaching it.

„Efficient use of the battery

•The battery will slightly discharge even if it is detached from the camcorder.

•If the battery is left attached to the camcorder, it will consume a slight amount of power. Therefore, it is recommended that you charge the battery a day before using the camcorder.

When you intend not to use the camcorder for an extended period of time

It is recommended that you fully charge the battery every six months, attach it to the camcorder, turn it on and fully deplete the battery charge, then remove the battery and store it in a cool place again.

Battery life

The battery life varies greatly depending on the ambient environment and how often the camcorder is used. If the usable time of the camcorder with a fully charged battery is noticeably short, the battery should be replaced. Purchase a new one.

Power Save function

To save power, do not leave the camcorder in recording pause mode for too long. Even during recording pause, battery power is consumed at about the same level as during recording.

By turning the power save function On, the camcorder will automatically turn off if left idle for approximately five minutes in recording pause mode. For power save function, see “About the LCD setup and initial setup” (p.42).
