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.

on.

Using the AC-DN10 AC adaptor
Mount the AC-DN10 on the camcorder in the same way as
