When recording indoors with an available wall outlet, you can use the AC power supply instead of
the battery pack to power the camcorder.
When charging, if both the USB cable and AC power adaptor are connected, the AC power
adaptor will override the USB.
If the camcorder is turned on, the battery will still charge, but more charging time will be needed.
We recommend you you to keep the camcorder turned off while charging.
