Setting Up the Camcorder

5-1 Power Supply

You need to power on the camcorder for the flange focal length
adjustment, viewfinder focus and screen adjustment, etc., which are
described later.
The following power supplies can be used with the camcorder.
• A BP-L60/L90 lithium-ion battery pack
• An NP-1B or a BP-90A Ni-Cd battery pack
• AC power using AC-550/550CE or AC-DN1
Alternatively, you can make combined use of internal and external
batteries, by mounting one of the above batteries as an internal battery
and connecting an external battery that can be a BP-90A contained in a
DC-210 Battery Adaptor and connected to the DC IN connector of the
camcorder.

5-1-1 Using a BP-L60/L90 Battery Pack

With a battery pack, the camcorder will operate continuously for the time
listed in the table below.
