Preparing the Power Supply
IMPORTANT
• Do not connect to the AC adapter any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this
camcorder.
• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter. After you turn off the camcorder,
important data is updated on the SD card. Be sure to wait until the green POWER/CHG indicator goes out.
• When using the AC adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a malfunction.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied AC adapter to voltage
converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters,
etc.
NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). If
either the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C
(32 °F to 104 °F), charging will not start.
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
• If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the POWER/CHG indicator
has gone out before restoring the power supply.
• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the AC adapter so the battery pack
will not be consumed.
• For approximate charging times and recording times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to the Reference
Tables (A 159, 159).
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Battery Pack (A 151).
Checking the Remaining Battery Charge
With the camcorder turned off, press the BATT. INFO button to display for about 5 seconds a screen showing
the approximate battery charge level and an estimate of the remaining recording time. Note that if the battery
charge is too low, the battery information screen may not appear.
