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-
TRV900 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. 82). 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 charge as 
a percentage.
The battery pack NP-FV70/FV100 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.
To use the battery pack effectively
Battery pack performance decreases when the 
ambient 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 install it on your camcorder right 
before you start taking shots.
Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FV100 
(sold separately).
