Insert the plug into an electrical outlet.
Note: When the AC adaptor is used with the camera, it becomes the active power source, even
when the batteries are installed in the camera.
Important
• Plug the power cord firmly into the power source and into the camera. If the power plug or con-
necting cable loosens during recording, data could be lost or damaged.
• When the AC adapter is connected to the camera, the power supply to the camera is temporarily
interrupted during the change of the power source. If this occurs while the camera is in use such
as during recording, playback or erasing, data can be damaged or lost. Therefore, always turn off
the power of the camera before connecting the AC adaptor.
