● When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a 
long storage period, the POWER/CHARGE lamp may not 
light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the 
camcorder, then try charging again.
● If the battery operation time remains extremely short even 
after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and 
needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new one.

Using The Battery Pack
Perform step
  
Maximum continuous recording time
* Provided
NOTES:
● Recording time is reduced significantly under the following 
conditions: 
• Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged repeatedly.
• The LCD monitor is used repeatedly.
• The playback mode is engaged repeatedly.
• The White LED Light is used.
● Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare 
enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned 
shooting time.
ATTENTION:
Before detaching the power source, make sure that the 
camcorder’s power is turned off. Failure to do so can result in 
a camcorder malfunction.
Using AC Power
Connect the AC Adapter to the camcorder as shown in 
the illustration on page 6.
NOTES:
● The provided AC Adapter features automatic voltage 
selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.
● Do not allow the DC terminals of the AC Adapter to come in 
contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and 
cause malfunction.
● For other notes, 墌 pg. 38.
About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or 
expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause 
a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to 
come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short 
circuit and possibly start a fire.
The Benefits Of 
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery packs 
are small but have a large 
power capacity. However, 
when one is exposed to 
cold temperatures (below 
10°C/50°F), its usage time 
becomes shorter and it 
may cease to function. If 
this happens, place the 
battery pack in your pocket 
or other warm, protected 
place for a short time, then 
re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack 
itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.
(If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack 
does not come in direct contact with it.)
For other notes, 
1
Adjust the velcro strip.
2
Pass your right hand through the loop and grasp the 
grip.
3
Adjust your thumb and fingers through the grip to 
easily operate the Recording Start/Stop Button, Power 
Switch and Power Zoom Lever. Be sure to fasten the 
velcro strip to your preference.
