Note
The operating time on a battery pack depends on
the condition (new or old) of the battery pack and
the ambient temperature.
To check in power-off status
Information on the mounted battery pack
(BATTERY INFO) is displayed on the LCD
monitor screen when you hold the DISPLAY/
BATT INFO button pressed even if the
camcorder is off.
The BATTERY INFO display goes off after 5
seconds.
If the battery charge remaining becomes
low
If the battery charge remaining decreases to a
certain level during operation (Low BATT
status), a low-battery message, flashing of the
tally lamps, and a beep sound will warn you.
If the remaining further decreases to a level at
which operation cannot be continued (BATT
Empty status), a battery-empty message appears.
Temporarily set the power switch to OFF and
connect a power source via the DC IN connector
or replace the battery pack with one that is fully
charged.
To change the message levels
The Low BATT level is set to 10% of full charge,
and the BATT Empty level is set to 3% of full
charge at the factory. These settings can be
changed with “Battery Alarm” (page 108) of the
OTHERS menu.
You can connect an AC power source to this
camcorder by using the supplied BC-U1 Battery
Charger for BP-U30/U60 as an AC adaptor, as
shown below:
1 Connect the DC power output cable of
the BC-U1 to the DC IN connector of
the camcorder.
2 Connect the power cord supplied with
the BC-U1 to the AC input connector of
the BC-U1 then to an AC power source.
3 Set the mode switch of the BC-U1 to the
DC OUT position.
For details, refer to the Operating Instructions of the
BC-U1.
When recording or playback is in progress on
power from the DC IN connector, the input
voltage is displayed on the LCD monitor/
viewfinder screen.
