• Image data files recorded on a “Memory Stick 

Duo” 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 still 

images 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 a “Memory Stick Duo” that 

has been used with another device, format it 
with your camcorder (p. 54). Note that 
formatting erases all information on the 
“Memory Stick Duo.”

• You may not be able to play back images with 

your camcorder:
– When playing back image data modified on 

your computer.

– When playing back image data recorded with 

other devices.

This unit is compatible with an 
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (P series).
Your camcorder operates only with an 
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack.
“InfoLITHIUM” P series battery packs 
have the 

 mark.

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 optional AC Adaptor/
charger.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack 
calculates the power consumption 
according to the operating conditions of 
your camcorder, and displays the remaining 
battery time in minutes.

• 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 °C 
(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.

• When charging the battery pack while the AC 

Adaptor is connected to your camcorder, after 
charging is complete, disconnect the cable from 
the DC IN jack on your camcorder or remove 
the battery pack.

• Battery pack performance decreases when the 

surrounding temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) or 
below, and the length of time you can use the 
battery pack becomes shorter. In that case, do 
one of the following to use the battery pack for a 
longer time.
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up, 

and insert it in your camcorder right before 
you start taking shots.

– Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FP70/

FP71/FP90 (optional).
