Note
Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC plug of
the AC Adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC Adaptor.

When you use the AC Adaptor
Place the AC Adaptor near a wall outlet. While using the AC Adaptor if any trouble
occurs with this unit, disconnect the plug from a wall outlet as soon as possible to cut
off the power.

Remaining battery time indicator
The remaining battery time indicator in the display window indicates the approximate
recording time when recording with the viewfinder.

Until your camcorder calculates the actual remaining battery time
“---- min” appears in the display window.

Connect in the same way as when charging the battery pack (p. 16).

PRECAUTION
The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (house current) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off.

Notes
•The AC Adaptor can supply power from a wall outlet even if the battery pack is

attached to your camcorder.

•The DC IN jack has “source priority.” This means that the battery pack cannot supply

any power if the power cord is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power
cord is not plugged into a wall outlet.
