2. Preparation
Power Supply
You can use a battery pack or AC power
supply from an AC adaptor.
For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and
AC adaptors listed below.
Lithium-ion battery packs
BP-U35
BP-U60
BP-U70
BP-U90
Battery chargers
BC-U1A
BC-U2A
AC adaptor (supplied)
A V-shoe battery can be used when an
XDCA-FX9 Extension Unit is attached.
For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and
AC adaptors listed below.
Lithium-ion battery packs
BP-GL95B
AC adaptor
AC-DN10A
[CAUTION]
Do not store battery packs in locations
exposed to direct sunlight, flame, or high
temperature.
[Notes]
When operating from an AC power source, use the
supplied AC adaptor.
Always set the POWER switch to the Off position
before connecting a battery or AC adaptor. If it is
connected with the POWER switch in the On position,
the camcorder may be unable to start in some cases.
If the camcorder cannot be started, set the POWER
switch to the Off position and disconnect the battery
pack or AC adaptor temporarily, then wait about
30 seconds before attempting to connect again. (If
the AC adaptor is connected while the camcorder is
operating from the battery pack, it can be connected
with the POWER switch in the On position without
problem.)
When using an AC-DN10A adaptor and peripheral
devices are attached to the camcorder, make sure
that the total power consumption of the peripheral
devices is less than 25W.
Using a Battery Pack
To attach a battery pack, plug the battery pack
into the attachment (page 8) as far as it
will go, and then slide it down to lock it into
position.
To remove a battery pack, press and hold the
BATT RELEASE button (page 8), slide the
battery pack up and then pull it out of the
attachment.

[Notes]
Before attaching a battery pack, charge the battery
using the dedicated BC-U1A or BC-U2A battery
charger.
Charging a battery immediately after use while it is
still warm may not fully recharge the battery.
Checking the remaining capacity
When shooting/playing using a battery pack,
the remaining battery capacity is displayed in
the viewfinder (page 10).
Icon Meaning
91% to 100%
71% to 90%
51% to 70%
31% to 50%
11% to 30%
0% to 10%
The camcorder indicates the remaining
capacity by calculating the available time with
the battery pack if operation is continued at
the current rate of power consumption.
When using an extension unit
When using the XDCA-FX9 Extension Unit,
the battery voltage or the remaining battery
capacity is displayed, depending on the
battery used.
[Note]
The camcorder battery pack cannot be attached when
an XDCA-FX9 unit is attached to the camcorder. You
must attach a battery pack to the XDCA-FX9 or connect
an external power supply.
If the battery pack charge becomes low
If the remaining battery charge falls below a
certain level during operation (Low Battery
state), a low-battery message appears, the
recording/tally lamp starts flashing, and a
beep sound will warn you.
If the remaining battery charge falls below
the level at which operation cannot continue
(Battery Empty state), a battery-empty
message appears.
Replace with a charged battery pack.
Changing the warning levels
The Low Battery level is set to 10% of full
battery charge and the Battery Empty level is
set to 3% by factory default. You can change
the warning level settings using Camera
Battery Alarm (page 100) in the Technical
menu.
