Checking the remaining capacity
When shooting/playing using a battery pack, the
remaining battery capacity is displayed in the
viewfinder
.
The camcorder indicates the remaining capacity
by calculating the available time with the battery
pack if operation is continued at the current rate
of power consumption.
When using an extension unit
When using the XDCA-FS7 Extension Unit, the
battery voltage or the remaining battery capacity
is displayed, depending on the battery used.
Note
The camcorder battery pack cannot be used when an
XDCA-FS7 unit is attached to the camcorder. You must
attach a battery pack to the XDCA-FS7 or connect an
external power supply.
If the battery pack charge becomes low
If the remaining battery charge falls below a
certain level during operation (Low BATT state),
a low-battery message appears, the recording
indicator starts flashing, and a beep sound will
warn you.
If the remaining battery charge falls below the
level at which operation cannot continue (BATT
Empty state), a battery-empty message appears.
Replace with a charged battery pack.
Changing the warning levels
The Low BATT level is set to 10% of full battery
charge and the BATT Empty level is set to 3% by
factory default. You can change the warning level
settings using Camera Battery Alarm
in
the System menu.
Connecting the camcorder to a power outlet
allows use without worrying about the need to
recharge the battery pack.
Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN connector
on the camcorder, and connect the power cord
(supplied) to a power outlet.
If the output voltage from the AC adaptor
becomes low
If the output voltage from the AC adaptor falls
below a certain level during operation (DC Low
Voltage1 state), a message appears informing you
that the AC adaptor output voltage has dropped,
the recording indicator starts flashing, and a beep
sound is emitted.
If the output voltage from the AC adaptor falls
below the level at which operation cannot
continue (DC Low Voltage2 state), a message
appears informing you that the AC adaptor output
voltage is too low.
If this occurs, the AC adaptor may be faulty.
Check the AC adaptor, as required.
Changing the warning levels
The DC Low Voltage1 level is set to 11.5 V and
the DC Low Voltage2 level is set to 11.0 V by
factory default. You can change the warning level
settings using Camera DC IN Alarm
the System menu.
