Preparation

Power Supply

You can use a battery pack or AC power supply from an AC adapter. When an AC adapter is connected, the AC adapter has priority even when a battery pack is attached. For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and AC adaptors listed below.

Lithium-ion battery packs

BP-U30 (supplied) BP-U60 BP-U60T BP-U90

AC adapters/chargers

BC-U1A (supplied) BC-U2A

WARNING

Do not store battery packs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, flame, or high temperature.

Note

• When operating from a power outlet, use the supplied AC adapter.

Using a battery pack

To attach a battery pack, plug the battery pack into the attachment (page 9) as far as it will go, and then slide it down to lock it into position. To remove a battery pack, press and hold the BATT RELEASE button (page 9), slide the battery pack up and then pull it out of the attachment.

Notes

• Before use, charge the battery pack with the BC-U1A (supplied) or BC-U2A Charger.

• Charging a battery immediately after use while it is still warm may not fully recharge the battery.

• The high-capacity BP-U90 Battery Pack is large, and protrudes from the camcorder when attached. The BPU90 is convenient when using the camcorder attached to a tripod for extended recording periods.

Checking the remaining capacity

When recording or playback is in progress on the battery pack, an icon to show the current battery charge level and usage time remaining are displayed on the LCD/viewfinder screen (page 12).

Icon Remaining capacity

100% to 91%

90% to 71%

70% to 51%

50% to 31%

30% to 11%

10% to 0%

The camcorder indicates the remaining usage time in minutes by calculating the available time with the battery pack if operation is continued at the current rate of power consumption.

If the battery pack charge becomes low

If the remaining battery charge falls below a certain level during operation (Low Battery state), a low-battery message appears, the recording/tally lamp starts flashing, and a beep sound will warn you. If the remaining battery charge falls below the level at which operation cannot continue (Battery Empty state), a battery-empty message appears. Replace with a charged battery pack.

Changing the warning levels

The Low Battery level is set to 10% of full battery charge and the Battery Empty level is set to 3% by factory default. You can change the warning level settings using Battery Alarm (page 116) in the System menu.

Using AC power

DC IN connector

AC adapter plug

Turning the camcorder on/off

Connecting the camcorder to a power outlet allows use without worrying about the need to recharge the battery pack.

1 Connect the power cord (mains lead) to the AC

Adapter.

2 Connect the AC Adapter to the DC IN connector of the

camcorder.

3 Connect the power cord (mains lead) to the wall outlet

(wall socket).

To turn the camcorder on, set the ON/STANDBY switch (page 9) to the ON position ([). To turn the camcorder off, set the ON/STANDBY switch to the STANDBY position (1).

Notes

• Even when the ON/STANDBY switch is set to the STANDBY position, the unit continues to draw standby electric power. Remove the battery pack if not using your camcorder for an extended period.

• Remove the battery or disconnect the DC IN power supply after the power lamp is extinguished when the power switch is set to the STANDBY position. If power is removed while the switch is in the ON position, a malfunction of the camcorder or memory cards may occur.

AC adapters

• Do not connect and use an AC adapter in a confined space, such as between a wall and furniture.

• If a problem occurs during operation, immediately disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

• Do not short-circuit the plug of the AC adapter with any metallic objects. Doing so will cause a malfunction.

• You cannot charge the camcorder by connecting it to the AC Adapter.

Formatting (initializing) a memory card

Memory cards must be formatted the first time they are used in the camcorder. Memory cards for use in the camcorder should be formatted using the format function of the camcorder. If a message appears when the memory card is inserted into the camcorder, format the memory card. If a memory card that was formatted in a format unsupported by this camcorder is inserted, the message “Unsupported File System” is displayed on the LCD/viewfinder screen. Format the media as described below.

To execute formatting

Using Format Media (page 104) in the Media menu, specify Media(A) (slot A) or Media(B) (slot B), then select Execute.

A message is displayed while formatting is in progress, and the access indicator is lit red. When formatting ends, a completion message appears.

Note

• Formatting a memory card erases all data on the card, including protected video. The data cannot be restored.

To use media formatted on the camcorder in the slot of another device

Make a backup of the media, then format it using the other device.

Checking the remaining recording time

While recording (or standing by to record), you can check the remaining space for the memory cards loaded in the card slots on the A/B slot media status/remaining space display of the LCD/ viewfinder screen (page 12). The remaining recording time is calculated from the remaining capacity of the media in each slot and the current video format (recording bit rate), and is displayed in units of minutes.

Note

• A icon appears if the memory card is writeprotected.

Replacing a memory card

• If the available time on two cards in total becomes less than 5 minutes, the warning message “Media Near Full” is displayed, the recording/tally lamp flashes, and a beep sound is output to the headphones to warn you. Replace with media that has free space.

• If you continue recording until the total remaining time reaches zero, the message changes to “Media Full,” and recording stops.

Note

• Up to approximately 600 clips can be recorded on one memory card. If the number of recorded clips reaches the limit, an indication that the maximum number of clips has been reached is displayed.

Restoring a memory card

If for any reason an error should occur in a memory card, the card must be restored before use. When you load a memory card that needs to be restored, a message appears on the LCD/ viewfinder screen to ask whether you want to restore it.

A message and progress status (%) are displayed while formatting is in progress, and the access lamp is lit red. When restoration ends, a completion message appears.

If restoration fails

• Write protected memory cards and cards on which memory errors have occurred cannot be restored. A warning message appears for such cards. Follow the instructions in the message and unprotect the card or replace it with another card.

• Memory cards on which memory errors have occurred may become usable if they are reformatted.

• In some cases, some clips can be restored while others cannot. The restored clips can be played normally.

• If the message “Could not Restore Some Clips” keeps appearing after repeated attempts at restoration, it may be possible to restore the memory card with the following procedure.

1 Use the copy function (page 73) of the camcorder to

copy the required clips to another memory card.
