About the “Memory Stick” media
• This product supports parallel data transfer.
However, the transfer speed may differ,
depending on the type of media you use.
• This product cannot record or play data that uses
“MagicGate” technology. “MagicGate” is a
copyright protection technology that records and
transfers the contents in an encrypted format.
Your camcorder operates only with an
“InfoLITHIUM” L series battery pack of a
large capacity, such as NP-F570.
“InfoLITHIUM” L series battery packs
have the
mark.
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack?
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions between your
camcorder and a supplied AC Adaptor.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack displays
the remaining battery time in % according
to the operating situations of your
camcorder.
To charge the battery pack
• Be sure to charge the battery pack before you
start using your camcorder.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of from 10 °C to 30 °C
(50 °F to 86 °F) until the charge lamp of the
camcorder turns off. If you charge the battery
pack outside of this temperature range, you may
not be able to charge it efficiently.
To use the battery pack effectively
• Battery pack performance decreases when the
ambient temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) or below,
and the length of time you can use the battery
pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one of the
following to use the battery pack for a longer
time.
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up,
and install it in your camcorder right before
you start taking shots.
