BATTERY RELEASE switch
IMPORTANT
•Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After pressing xto turn off the camcorder, important data is updated in the memory. Be sure to wait until the green ON/OFF (CHG) indicator goes out.
•We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C. Outside the temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C, charging will not start.
•Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the compact power adapter any electrical equipment that is not expressly recommended for use with this camcorder.
20 Preparations
•To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied compact power adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTES
•The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
•If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the compact power adapter so the battery pack will not be consumed.
•Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
•We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
Preparations 21
Preparing the Accessories

22 Preparations
Grip Belt and Straps
Fasten the grip belt.
Adjust the grip belt so that you can reach the zoom lever with your index finger, and the gbutton with your thumb.
To remove the grip belt
1Lift the padded handgrip's flap and detach the strap from the Velcro pad.
2Pull the strap to remove it first from the front bracket on the camcorder, then to unthread it from the handgrip and finally to remove it from the rear bracket on the camcorder.
Preparations 23
To attach an optional wrist strap

You can also attach the wrist strap to the strap mount on the grip belt to use both for extra convenience and protection.
To attach an optional shoulder strap
Pass the ends of the shoulder strap through the strap mount on the grip belt and adjust the length of the strap.
Adjusting the Position and Brightness of the LCD Screen
Rotating the LCD Panel
Open the LCD panel 90 degrees.
•You can rotate the panel 90 degrees downward.
•You can rotate the panel 180 degrees toward the lens. Rotating the LCD panel 180 degrees can be useful in the following cases:

Subject can monitor the LCD screen |
NOTES
•About the LCD screen: The screen is produced using extremely high-pre- cision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
LCD Backlight
When recording in bright places it may be difficult to use the LCD screen. Turn on the LCD backlight to make it brighter.
With the camcorder on, hold hpressed down for more than 2 seconds.
Repeat this action to switch the LCD backlight between off (normal) and on (bright).
NOTES
•The LCD backlight does not affect the brightness of the recordings.
•Using the bright setting will shorten the effective usage time of the battery pack.
•You can further adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the 68[LCD Brightness] setting, or dim it with the 68[LCD Screen Dimmer] setting to use in places where the light from the LCD screen can be a nuisance.
Preparations 25

The control buttons and menu items that appear on the touch screen change dynamically depending on the operating mode and the task you are performing. With the intuitive touch screen interface you have all the controls at your fingertips.
Touch
Touch a menu item to select it, or a control button to perform the corresponding action. For some functions, such as Touch & Track (065) and face detection (063), you can touch a subject that appears on the touch screen to select it and have the camcorder choose the optimal settings.
Drag
Swipe your finger up and down or left and right across the screen to scroll menus, to browse through index screen pages or to adjust slider controls (for example, to adjust the volume).
IMPORTANT
•The camcorder uses a pressure-sensitive touch screen. Press firmly when using touch operations.
