• If the battery pack is not used for a long time, 

fully charge the battery pack and use it up on 
your camcorder once a year to maintain proper 
function. To store the battery pack, remove it 
from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool 
place.

• To discharge the battery pack on your 

camcorder completely, leave your camcorder in 
tape recording standby until the power goes off 
(p. 25).

• Battery capacity decreases over time and 

through repeated use. If decreased usage time 
between charges becomes significant, it is 
probably time to replace it with a new one.

• Each battery’s life is governed by storage, 

operating and environmental conditions.

The HDV/DV interface on this unit is an 
i.LINK-compliant interface. This section 
describes the i.LINK standard and its 
features.

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for 
transferring digital video, digital audio, and 
other data to other i.LINK-compatible 
devices. You can also control other devices 
using the i.LINK.
i.LINK-compatible devices can be 
connected using an i.LINK cable. Possible 
applications are operations and data 
transactions with various digital AV 
devices.
When two or more i.LINK-compatible 
devices are daisy-chained with the unit, 
operation becomes possible from any 
device in the chain. Note that operation 
method may vary, or data transactions may 
not be possible, depending on specifications 
and characteristics of the connected 
devices.

• Normally, only one device can be connected to 

this unit with an i.LINK cable. When 
connecting this unit to an HDV/DV compatible 
device having two or more   HDV/DV 
interfaces, refer to the operating instructions of 
the device to be connected.

• i.LINK is a more familiar term for the IEEE 

1394 data transport bus proposed by Sony, and 
is a trademark approved by many corporations.

• IEEE 1394 is an international standard 

standardized by the Institute of Electrical and 
Electronics Engineers.
