On the battery pack

The /CHG (charge) lamp flashes during charging, or Battery Info (p. 16) 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 worn-out (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 or the Handycam Station, even when the power cord (mains lead) is disconnected from the wall outlet (wall socket).

When attaching an optional video light, it is recommended that you use an NP-FH70/FH100 battery pack.

We do not recommend using an NP-FH30, which only allows short recording and playback times, with your camcorder.
