(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 mains 
lead is disconnected from the wall socket.

• We recommend that you use an NP-FP70, NP-

FP71 or NP-FP90 battery pack when a video light 
(optional) is attached.

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

(77°F). (10-30°C (50-86°F) is recommended.)

• Available recording and playback time will be 

shorter when you use your camcorder in low 
temperatures.

• The available recording and playback time will 

be shorter depending on the conditions under 
which you use your camcorder.

On the AC Adaptor 
• Connect the AC Adaptor to an easily accessible 

wall socket close by. If any trouble occurs while 
using the adaptor, immediately shut off the power 
by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket.

• Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow 

space, such as between a wall and furniture.

• Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC 

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

PRECAUTION
• The set is not disconnected from the AC power 

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the 
wall socket, even if the set itself has been turned 
off.
