On the memory card adaptor
When using memory card with memory card 
compliant device inserting memory card 
into memory card adaptor, make sure the 
memory card is inserted facing in the correct 
direction. Note that improper use may cause a 
malfunction.
On image data compatibility
Image data files recorded on memory card by 
your camcorder conform to the “Design rule 
for Camera File system” universal standard 
established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics 
and Information Technology Industries 
Association).
On your camcorder, you cannot play back 
photos recorded on other devices (DCR-
TRV900E or DSC-D700/D770) that do not 
conform to the universal standard. (These 
models are not sold in some regions.)
If you cannot use memory cards that have been 
used with another device, format it with your 
camcorder (p. 77). Note that formatting erases 
all information on the memory card.
You may not be able to play back images with 
your camcorder:

About the “InfoLITHIUM” battery 
pack
Your camcorder operates only with an 
“InfoLITHIUM” V series battery packs.
“InfoLITHIUM” V series battery packs 
have the 
 mark.
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack?
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a 
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions 
for communicating information related to 
operating conditions between your camcorder 
and an AC Adaptor/charger (sold separately).
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates the 
power consumption according to the operating 
conditions of your camcorder, and displays the 
remaining battery time in minutes.
The battery pack NP-FV50 is compatible with 
“ActiFORCE.” 
“ActiFORCE” is a new generation power 
system. Battery capacity, boost charge, and 
the speed and accuracy of battery time 
remaining calculations have been improved 
when compared with current “InfoLITHIUM” 
P-series battery.
To charge the battery pack
Be sure to charge the battery pack before you 
start using your camcorder.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an 
ambient temperature of between 10 
C to 30 
(50 °F to 86 °F) until the CHG (charge) lamp 
turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside 
of this temperature range, you may not be able 
to charge it efficiently.
