To use the AC-DN10 AC adaptor
Mount an AC-DN10 on the camcorder in the same way as 
a battery pack, then connect to the AC power supply. 
The AC-DN10 can supply up to 100 W of power.

When the battery pack is becoming exhausted, you can 
perform battery replacement without causing a break to the 
camcorder operation by using an AC adaptor.

Turn the AC-550 AC adaptor on.

Connect an AC-550 AC Adaptor to an AC power 
source, then connect it to the DC IN connector of the 
camcorder (page 30).

The power source switches automatically from the 
battery pack to the AC adaptor connected to the DC IN 
connector.

There may be some noise on the video signal at the 
time of power source switching.

Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one.

Depending on the eyesight of the operator — whether 
longsighted or shortsighted — the optimal position of the 
viewfinder image varies. Adjusting brightness, contrast, 
and so on, improves the visibility of the viewfinder screen.
Although these adjustments may make the viewfinder 
image clearer, they have no effect on the output video 
signal from the camcorder.

Remove any microphone from the viewfinder beforehand.

Slide the viewfinder into the holder on the camera, 
then tighten the viewfinder left-to-light position fixing 
ring.

Connect the viewfinder connector to the VF 
connector.

Push the connector all the way into the VF connector.

Reverse the fitting procedure. Please note that you should 
slide the viewfinder out while pulling the viewfinder 
stopper up.
