Preparations

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. 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. For approximate charging times and recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to Charging, Recording and Playback Times (0 191).

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.

BATTERY RELEASE switch

IMPORTANT

• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the com-

pact power adapter. After pressing x to 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.

Preparing the Accessories

Wireless Controller

First, insert the supplied CR2025 lithium button battery into the wireless controller.

1 Press the tab in the direction of the

arrow and pull out the battery holder.

2 Place the lithium button battery with

the + side facing up.

3 Insert the battery holder.

To use the wireless controller

Point the wireless controller at the camcorder’s remote sensor when you press the buttons.

You can rotate the LCD panel 180 degrees to use the wireless controller from the front of the camcorder.

NOTES

• The wireless controller may not work properly when the remote sensor is situated under strong light sources or direct sunlight.

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 g button with your thumb.

22  Preparations

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 LCD Screen and Using the Viewfinder

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:

- To allow the subject to monitor the LCD screen while you use the

viewfinder.

- To include yourself in the picture when recording with the self timer.

- To allow the camcorder to be operated with the wireless controller

from the front.

Preparations  23

NOTES

• About the LCD and viewfinder screens: The screens are produced using extremely high-precision 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 h pressed down for more than 2 seconds.

Repeat this action to switch the LCD backlight between off (normal) and on (bright). This changes the brightness of both the LCD and viewfinder screen.

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 6 8 [LCD Brightness] setting, or dim it with the 6 8 [LCD Screen Dimmer] setting to use in places where the light from the LCD screen can be a nuisance.

• For details about how to take care of the touch screen, refer to Handling Precautions (0 182), Cleaning (0 187).

24  Preparations

Using the Viewfinder

If it is difficult to use the LCD screen even after turning on the LCD backlight, you can use the viewfinder. You can also use the viewfinder when you rotate the LCD panel 180 ° to let the subject watch the recording.

To use the viefinder, hold out both sides of the viewfinder firmly and pull it out until it clicks.

• You can close the LCD panel or rotate it toward the subject as you prefer.

• Adjust the viewfinder as necessary with the dioptric adjustment lever.

• The LCD backlight setting is common to the LCD screen and the viewfinder.

NOTES

• For details about how to take care of the viewfinder, refer to Handling Precautions (0 182), Cleaning (0 187).

Preparations  25
