NOTES:
●
If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the
adapter during battery charging, power is
supplied to the camcorder and charging stops.
●
When using the AC Power Adapter/Charger, be
sure to use the supplied power cord only.
●
The AC Power Adapter/Charger is for use with the
BN-V712U Battery Pack only.
●
When charging the Battery Pack for the first time
or after a long storage period, the Charge
Indicator may not light. In this case, remove the
Battery Pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger,
then try charging again.
●
Since the AC Power Adapter/Charger processes
electricity internally, it becomes warm during use.
Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
●
Be sure to securely connect the power cord to the
AC Power Adapter/Charger.
●
Before connecting to an AC outlet, connect the
power cord to the AC Power Adapter/Charger. If
you plug into an AC outlet first and the power
cord’s terminal comes in contact with a metal
surface or object, there is the possibility of a short
circuit or fire.
** Charging Environment
Perform charging where the temperature is between
10° and 30°C. (20°–25°C is the ideal temperature
range for charging.) If the environment is too cold,
charging may be incomplete.
Continuous Shooting
Continuous shooting is possible for approximately
30 minutes, under the following conditions:
•A BN-V712U Battery Pack is in use
•The temperature is approximately 20°C/68°F
However, . . .
•If the temperature is below 10°C/50°F, or
•If Zoom or RECORD/STANDBY are engaged
repeatedly, continuous shooting capability is
reduced significantly. Before extended use, it is
recommended that you prepare enough battery
packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.
