On the battery pack
• Before changing the battery pack, slide the
POWER switch to OFF (CHG).
• The CHG (charge) lamp flashes during charging,
or BATTERY INFO (p.37) will not be correctly
displayed under the following conditions.
– The battery pack is not attached correctly.
– The battery pack is damaged.
– The battery pack is fully discharged.
(For BATTERY INFO only.)
• The power will not be supplied from the battery
as long as the AC Adaptor is connected to the DC
IN jack of your camcorder, even when the power
cord is removed from the wall outlet.
• We recommend that you use an NP-FP70, NP-
FP71 or NP-FP90 battery pack when a video light
(optional) is attached.
On the charging/recording/playback time
• Times measured with the camcorder at 25 °C
(77°F). (10-30°C (50-86°F) is recommended.)
• Available recording and playback time will be
shorter when you use your camcorder in low
temperatures.
• The available recording and playback time will
be shorter depending on the conditions under
which you use your camcorder.
On the AC Adaptor
• Connect the AC Adaptor to an easily accessible
wall outlet close by. If any trouble occurs while
using the adaptor, immediately shut off the power
by removing the plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow
space, such as between a wall and furniture.
• Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC
Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic
objects. This may cause a malfunction.
PRECAUTION
• Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power
(house current) is still supplied to it while
connected to the wall outlet via the AC Adaptor.
