Getting Started

then reattach it to the AC adapter/charger. If the CHARGE light continues 
to flash after several attempts to attach it, the battery is unable to take a 
charge and must be replaced. Do not attach a hot batter to the AC 
adapter/charger. Allow it to cool. Do not use a battery with a crack or any 
abnormalities in its appearance. 

THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE BATTERY 

OR AC ADAPTER/CHARGER. 

THROWING THE BATTERY INTO FIRE OR EXPOSING IT TO 

EXCESSIVE HEAT (ABOVE 149°F (65°C)) MAY CAUSE INJURY. 

SHORTING THE BATTERY'S TERMINAL INCREASES RISK OF FIRE 

OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK 

Adjusting the Electronic Viewfinder 

The electronic viewfinder adjusts simply by pivoting it to a position where it 
is comfortable and easy to see through. Place the viewfinder back in its 
original position before storing the camcorder in its case or carrying the 
camera recorder around to avoid damaging the viewfinder or camcorder. 

Caution:

 Do not point the electronic viewfinder to direct sunlight; it could 

damage the viewfinder. 

 

 

Eyepiece Adjustment 

To use the electronic viewfinder, adjust the diopter control so that the 
subject is seen most clearly in the viewfinder. 

 

Attaching the Shoulder Strap 

Thread the ends of the shoulder strap through the slots at the back of the 
camcorder and thread through the shoulder strap's buckles. Please 
ensure that the straps are securely fastened before using the shoulder
