• When attaching an optional video light, it is 

recommended that you use an NP-FH70 or NP-
FH100 battery pack.

On the charging/recording/playback time
• Times measured with the camcorder at 25 °C 

(77 °F) (10 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

On the AC Adaptor
• Use the nearby wall outlet when using the AC 

Adaptor. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the 
wall outlet immediately if any malfunction 
occurs while using your camcorder.

space, such as between a wall and furniture.

Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic 
objects. This may cause a malfunction.

(house current) is still supplied to it while 
connected to the wall outlet via the AC Adaptor.
