On the battery pack

When you remove the battery pack, turn off

your camcorder, and turn off the (Movie) lamp/ (Still) lamp (p. 10)/access lamp (p. 12)/QUICK ON lamp.

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).

On the charging/recording/playback time

Times measured when using the camcorder at 25°C (77°F) (10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) is recommended).

The 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

Use the nearby wall outlet (wall socket) when using the AC Adaptor. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket) immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder.

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.

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

On using abroad

You can use your camcorder in any countries/ regions using the AC Adaptor supplied with your camcorder. Also, you can charge the battery pack.

Use a commercially available AC plug adaptor, if necessary, depending on the design of the wall outlet (wall socket).

See “Handycam Handbook” (PDF) for details.
