On the battery pack

• Before changing the battery pack, Turn the

POWER switch to OFF (CHG) and turn off the

(Movie) lamp/

(Still) lamp (p. 25).

charging, or Battery Info (p. 23) will not be
correctly displayed under the following
conditions:
– The battery pack is not attached correctly.
– The battery pack is damaged.
– The battery pack is worn-out (For Battery

Info only).

• The power will not be supplied from the battery

as long as the AC Adaptor is connected to the

power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

• When attaching an optional video light, it is

recommended that you use an NP-FH70/NP-

which only allows short recording and playback
times, with your camcorder.

when you use your camcorder in low
temperatures.

• The recording and playback time will be shorter

depending on the conditions under which you
