On the battery pack
• Before changing the battery pack, Turn the 
POWER switch to OFF (CHG) and turn off the 
 (Movie) lamp/
 (Still) lamp (p. 25).
• The CHG (charge) lamp flashes during 
charging, or Battery Info (p. 23) 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 worn-out (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 disconnected from the wall outlet.
• When attaching an optional video light, it is 
recommended that you use an NP-FH70/NP-
FH100 battery pack (DCR-DVD308/DVD708). 
• We do not recommend using an NP-FH30, 
which only allows short recording and playback 
times, with your camcorder.
On the charging/recording/playback time

25 °C (77 °F) (10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) is 
recommended).
• The recording and playback time will be shorter 
when you use your camcorder in low 
temperatures.
• The recording and playback time will be shorter 
depending on the conditions under which you 
use your camcorder.
