About the power source

When you use the memory card slot, getting the power from a wall outlet is recommended, using the AC power adaptor.

About the remaining battery indicator

This camcorder displays remaining recording/playback time on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder. This function may not work properly in certain operating conditions. Especially when using the memory card slot, the correct remaining time may not be indicated due to increased power consumption. This is not a malfunction.

Power supply

When using a video light (not supplied) or similar equipment connected to the intelligent accessory shoe of the camcorder, recording an image to a “Memory Stick” or PC card may result in a temporary power shortage in the accessory shoe, causing the video light to go out. This does not affect other functions.

When using a battery case

When using a battery case (not supplied) such as the EBP-L7, you cannot perform operations that require the PC card adaptor. The screen displays “FOR “InfoLITHIUM” BATTERY ONLY.”

Note on image data compatibility

Image data files recorded on “Memory Stick”s by your camcorder do not conform with the Design Rules for Camera File Systems universal standard established by the JEIDA (Japan Electronic Industry Development Association).

You cannot play back on your camcorder still images recorded on other equipment that conform with this universal standard.

CAUTION

Do not insert your finger or an object into the memory card slot.
