Step 1 Preparing the power supply
Note
Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC plug of
the AC power adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC power
adaptor.
Remaining battery time indicator
The remaining battery time indicator in the display window indicates the approximate
recording time with the viewfinder.
Until your camcorder calculates the actual remaining battery time
“---- min” appears in the display window.
When you use the AC power adaptor
Place the AC power adaptor near a wall outlet. If any trouble occurs with this unit,
disconnect the plug from a wall outlet as soon as possible to cut off the power.
