The 3 Types of Power Supply
1) AC Adaptor (supplied) to supply power from an AC mains socket
2) Car Battery Charger (optional) to supply power from the cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle
3) Battery (supplied) (p. 10)
1) Supplying Power from an AC Mains Socket
AC Adaptor
AC Mains Lead
Connect the plug of the DC Input Lead to the [DC IN] Socket on the Movie Camera.
Connect the other plug of the DC Input Lead to the [DC OUT] Socket on the AC Adaptor.
Connect the other end of the AC Mains Lead to an AC mains socket.
Basic Operations
³Before disconnecting the AC Mains Lead, set the
[OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF].
³If you use the Movie Camera for a long time, it
becomes warm. However, this is normal.
³The AC Mains Lead does not fit entirely into the AC
Adaptor socket, but this has no effect on operation.
Connect the AC Mains Lead to the AC Adaptor.
2) Supplying Power from the Cigarette Lighter Socket in a Car
The use of the Car Battery Charger (VW-KBD2E; optional) makes it possible to supply power to the Movie Camera in a car for recording and playback. It also allows charging the Movie Camera’s Battery.
Start the engine and then plug the Car Battery Charger into the Cigarette Lighter Socket.
Car Battery Charger
DC Input Lead
Connect the DC Input Lead.
³After use, be sure to disconnect the Car Battery
Charger from the cigarette lighter socket.
³If the Car Battery Charger is already connected to the
cigarette lighter socket when you start the engine, the fuse in the Car Battery Charger’s plug may blow out.
³Also read the operating instructions of the Car Battery
Charger.

3) Supplying Power with the Battery
Before use, fully charge the Battery.
When charging, do not connect the DC Input Lead to the AC Adaptor.
When the [CHARGE] Lamp Flashes Continuously
If the temperature of the Battery is extremely low or extremely high, the [CHARGE] Lamp on the AC Adaptor flashes continuously. It also flashes continuously when some malfunction has occurred in the Battery or the AC Adaptor. For details, read “Notes about the AC Adaptor” (p. 90).
³Charge the Battery at a room temperature between
10oC and 30oC.
³If the DC Input Lead is connected to the AC Adaptor,
disconnect it as charging is not possible otherwise.
³If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light even though the
Battery is attached, remove the Battery and then re­attach it.
³During recording and charging, the Battery becomes
warm. However, this is normal.
³If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or
extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may keep on flashing and charging is not possible. After the Battery has cooled down or warmed up sufficiently, charging starts automatically.
1
Have the front edge of the battery lined up with the
1 mark on the side
of the AC Adaptor, and then slide it horizontally until it locks with a click.
2
Connect the AC Mains Lead to the AC Adaptor and an AC mains socket.
³
The [POWER] Lamp and the [CHARGE] Lamp light and charging starts.
³The AC Mains Lead
does not fit entirely into the AC Adaptor socket, but this has no effect on operation.

Charging Time and Maximum Time for Continuous Recording
The times shown in the above chart are approximations. The figures in parentheses show the recording time when using the LCD Monitor. The times listed above for your information indicate the duration of recording performed at an ambient temperature of 20°C and 60% relative humidity. The charging time may be longer when you charge the Battery at higher or lower temperature.
) Charging Time * Maximum Continuous Recording Time + Intermittent Recording Time
(The Intermittent Recording Time indicates the total recording time possible when you start and stop recording repeatedly.)
³The Battery Model VSB0418 is supplied. ³During use and charging, the Battery becomes warm.
The Movie Camera, too, becomes warm during use.
³
When you repeatedly stop and restart recording, the recording time per Battery is shorter than listed above.
³If you do not use the Battery for a long time, please
read “Precautions for Storage” (p. 92).
³The Battery models CGP-D110 and CGP-D105
cannot be charged with this AC Adaptor.
Removing the Battery from the Movie Camera
While pressing the [PUSH] Button, slide the Battery upward to remove it.
³Be careful not to drop the Battery by accident. ³Before removing the Battery, set the [OFF/ON] Switch
to [OFF].

The desired recording speed can be selected with [REC SPEED] on the [RECORDING SETUP] Sub-Menu. (p. 18) If you select the LP Mode, the possible recording time is 1.5 times as long as in the SP Mode.
Recording in the LP mode does not deteriorate the picture quality. However, the playback picture may contain mosaic-like patterns and certain functions may be restricted. ³As the recording track width in the LP Mode
is smaller than the head width, recording new sound onto an already recorded cassette (audio dubbing) (p. 64) is not possible.
3
Press on the [PUSH CLOSE] mark to close the Upper Cassette Compartment Cover.
The Cassette Holder with the cassette slides back inside. Confirm that the Cassette Holder has retracted completely.

³In the following cases, mosaic-like patterns
may appear in the playback picture, or the picture may not be played back correctly:

º Video Head Clogging and Remedy
When the video heads (which contact the tape) are dirty, the playback picture contains mosaic-like patterns or the whole screen becomes black. If they become even more dirty, the recording performance deteriorates and in the worst case, recording may not be possible at all.
Causes of Dirty Video Heads
³A lot of dust in the air. ³High-temperature and high-humidity environment. ³Damaged tape. ³Long-time use.

. (Do not use the Head
Notes:
³Do not rewind the tape in the Head Cleaner after
every use. Rewind it only after the tape has reached its end, and then use it again in the same way from the beginning.
³If the video heads again become clogged with dirt
soon after cleaning, this might be caused by a damaged tape. In this case, stop using that cassette immediately.
³Be careful not to clean the video heads too much.
(Too much cleaning could cause excessive wear to the video heads. If the video heads get worn, the picture is not played back clearly even after cleaning.)
³If using the Head Cleaner does not clear the video
head clogging, the Movie Camera requires cleaning or repairing by a service centre.
Please consult with your dealer.
³Video head cleaning due to clogging is not a
malfunction of the product and is not covered by your warranty.
³For Recording Check, the Movie Camera must be in
the same mode (SP or LP) as used for recording, otherwise the playback picture is distorted.

You are used to looking at yourself in the mirror. Therefore, when recording yourself with the LCD Monitor facing forward, the picture (as it is being recorded) might look unusual and distracting. If you prefer to see yourself on the LCD Monitor in the same way as you see yourself in a mirror, i.e. with the sides reversed, set [SELFSHOOT] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu to [MIRROR]. However, the picture will still be recorded in the normal, non-reversed way. This mirror mode for the picture on the LCD Monitor works only during recording and in the Recording Pause Mode with the LCD Monitor facing forward. Also, it is completely different from the Mirror Mode of the Digital Effects 1 (p. 48).
Opening the LCD Monitor automatically turns off the Viewfinder. However, when you turn the LCD Monitor forward, the picture also appears in the Viewfinder.
