9-1-2 Avoiding Breaks in Operation Due to an Exhausted Battery

When the battery pack is becoming exhausted, you can perform battery replacement without causing a break to the camcorder operation by using an AC adaptor.

To do this, proceed as follows.

1 Connect an AC-550/AC-550CE Adaptor to an AC power source, then connect it to the DC IN connector of the camcorder.

For details, see the next section.

The power source switches automatically from the battery pack to the AC adaptor connected to the DC IN connector.

Note

There may be some noise on the video signal at the time of power source switching.

2 Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one.
