Preparations

COPY

This chapter describes basic operations, such as using the touch panel, navigating the menus, and first time settings to help you learn more about your camcorder.

Getting Started

Charging the Battery Pack

The camcorder can be powered with a battery pack or directly using the compact power adapter. For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to Charging, Recording and Playback Times (A 177).

1 Connect the power cord to the

compact power adapter.

2 Plug the power cord into a

power outlet.

3 Connect the compact power

adapter to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal.

4 Attach the battery pack to the

camcorder.

Press the battery pack softly into the battery attachment unit and slide it up until it clicks in place.

COPY

camcorder is turned off.

• If the camcorder was on, the green POWER/CHG indicator will go out when you turn off the camcorder. After a moment, the POWER/CHG indicator will turn on in red (battery pack charging). The red POWER/ CHG indicator will go out when the battery pack is fully charged.

• If the indicator flashes, refer to

To remove the battery pack

1Slide d in the

direction of the arrow and hold it pressed down.

2 Slide the battery pack and

then pull it out.

IMPORTANT

• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. After turning off the camcorder, important data is updated in the memory. Be sure to wait until the green POWER/CHG indicator goes out.

• 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.

• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied compact power adapter to voltage converters for

NOTES

• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C. If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C, charging will not start.

• If the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is low, charging may take longer than usual.

• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.

• If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack, make sure the POWER/CHG indicator has gone out before restoring the power supply.

• 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.

• Battery packs for this camcorder can display the remaining battery time. The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.

• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.

Turning On the Camcorder
