Installing the batteries

or the charged battery pack. Use the supplied size AA (LR6) Sony batteries or the NP-
F10 "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (S seriese).
When you install or remove the batteries, be sure to turn off the camcorder to prevent
misoperation of the camcorder.
You can also use house current as a power source. (P. 10)
