Time measured with the camcorder at 25 C (77 F). 10 C to 30 C (50 F to 86 F) is recommended.
To remove the battery pack
Close the LCD screen. Slide the BATT (battery) release lever and remove the battery pack
.
To use a wall outlet (wall socket) as a power source
Make the same connections as “Step 1: Charging the battery pack.” Even if the battery pack is
attached, the battery pack is not discharged.
Charging the battery pack abroad
You can charge the battery pack in any countries/regions using the AC Adaptor supplied with
your camcorder within the AC 100 V - 240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz range.
Do not use an electronic voltage transformer.
Notes on the battery pack
When you remove the battery pack or disconnect the AC Adaptor, replace the viewfinder, close the LCD
screen and make sure that the
(Movie) lamp/ (Photo) lamp (p. 21)/ACCESS lamp (p. 18)/access
lamp (p. 70) are turned off.
The
/CHG lamp flashes during charging under the following conditions:
The battery pack is not attached correctly.
The battery pack is damaged.
When attaching a video light (sold separately), it is recommended that you use an NP-FH70 or NP-
FH100 battery pack.
We do not recommend using an NP-FH30, which only allows short recording and playback times, with
your camcorder.
In the default setting, the power turns off automatically if you leave your camcorder without any
operation for about 5 minutes, to save battery power ([A.SHUT OFF]).
