Preparing a Power Supply
The following power supplies are recommended for the
camcorder.
• BP-GL95/GL65/L60S/L80S Lithium-ion Battery Pack
• AC power using the AC-DN2B/DN10 AC adaptor
Using a Battery Pack
When a BP-GL95/GL65/L60S/L80S Battery Pack is used,
the camcorder will operate continuously for the time
shown below.
The battery pack operating time depends on the frequency
of use of the battery pack, and the ambient temperature
when used.
Before use, charge the battery pack with a charger suitable
for each battery.
For details on the battery charging procedure, refer to the
battery charger operation manual.
A warm battery pack may not be able to be fully recharged.
To attach the battery pack
1
Press the battery pack against the back of the
camcorder, aligning the line on the side of the battery
pack with the matching line on the camcorder.
2
Slide the battery pack down until its “LOCK” arrow
points at the matching line on the camcorder.
To detach the battery pack
• During recording and playback (while the ACCESS
indicator is lit), be careful never to remove the battery
pack.
• Make sure to power the camcorder off before replacing
the battery pack.
Using an AC Adaptor
When using the AC-DN10 AC adaptor
Mount an AC-DN10 on the camcorder in the same way as
a battery pack, then connect to the AC power supply.
The AC-DN10 can supply up to 100 W of power.
