Importantl
Use the battery completely before re-chargingl
Before you recharge the battery, make sure the battery has been used up (discharged) completely.
Repeated charging while some capacity remains causes a lowering of battery capacity. However, the •
original battery capacity can be recovered if you use the battery completely and charge it fully again.
To use up the battery, remove the cassette and slide the POWER switch to CAMERA with the battery
attached, and leave the camcorder until the (20 indicator and the red lamp flash rapidly in the
viewfinder.
Removing the Battery Pack
Slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow.
Notes on charging the battery pack
• The POWER lamp will remain lit for a while even if the battery pack is removed and the power cord is
unplugged after charging the battery pack. This is normal.
• If the I_OWER lamp d('_'s not light, set the selector to the center position and disconm.,ct the p_wer
cord. After about one minute, reconm.,ct the power cord and set the sele_or to CHARGE again.
* You cannot operate the camcorder using the AC power adaptor while charging the battery pack.

balance isproperly adjusted.
Using the_°Zoom Featu_rQ.....
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you chang e the size of the subject in the scene. For more
professional-looking recordings, use the zoom sparingly.
T side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away]
Zooming Speed
Press the power zoom button firmly for a high-speed zoom. Press it softly for a relatively slow zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom
If you cannot get asharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, press the W side of the power zoom
button until the focus is sharp.
You can shoot a subject that isat ]east 3.3 feet (about 1 m) away from the lens surface in the telephoto
position, or 1/2 inches (about lcm) in the wide-angle position.
