aBattery attachment

Attach a BP-GL65/GL95/L60S/L80S battery pack. Furthermore, by attaching an AC-DN10 AC Adaptor, you can operate the camcorder from AC power.

Note

For your safety, and to ensure proper operation of the unit, Sony recommends the use of the following battery packs: BP-GL65, BP-GL95, BP-L60S, and BP-L80S.

bDC IN connector (XLR type, 4-pin, male)

To operate the camcorder using an AC power supply, connect an AC-550/550CE AC Adaptor with the DC output cable supplied with the adaptor.

cPOWER switch

This switch turns the main power supply on and off.

dLIGHT switch

This determines how a video light connected to the LIGHT connector is turned on and off.

AUTO: When the switch on the video light is in the on position, putting the camcorder in recording mode turns the video light on automatically. When using the auto interval recording mode, the video light is automatically turned on immediately before recording starts.

MANUAL: You can turn the video light on or off manually, using its own switch.

Notes

When AUTO is selected, unevenly lit video is recorded between the start of recording and the time when the light comes on. We recommend that you select MANUAL when the start of a recording is important.
