On the battery pack

•Before changing the battery pack, slide the POWER switch to OFF (CHG).

•The CHG (charge) lamp flashes during charging, or BATTERY INFO (p.35) will not be correctly displayed under the following conditions.

–The battery pack is not attached correctly.

–The battery pack is damaged.

–The battery pack is fully discharged. (For BATTERY INFO only.)

•The power will not be supplied from the battery as long as the AC Adaptor is connected to the DC IN jack of your camcorder, even when the mains lead is removed from the wall socket.

•We recommend that you use an NP-FP70, NP- FP71 or NP-FP90 battery pack when a video light (optional) is attached.

On the charging/recording/playback time

•Times measured with the camcorder at 25 °C (77°F). (10-30°C (50-86°F) is recommended.)

•Available recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low temperatures.

•The available recording and playback time will be shorter depending on the conditions under which you use your camcorder.

On the AC Adaptor

•Connect the AC Adaptor to an easily accessible wall socket close by. If any trouble occurs while using the adaptor, immediately shut off the power by removing the plug from the wall socket.

•Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.

•Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic objects. This may cause a malfunction.

PRECAUTION

•Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power (mains) is still supplied to it while connected to the wall socket via the AC Adaptor.
