Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Charging the Battery Pack

IMPORTANT

• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter. After you

turn off the camcorder, important data is updated on the recording media. Be sure to

wait until the green POWER/CHG indicator goes out.

• When using the AC adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may cause a

malfunction.

• Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the AC 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

AC adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as

those on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.

NOTES

• You cannot charge the optional LP-E6 Battery Pack

with the camcorder. Check the bottom label of the

battery pack and make sure it is an LP-E6N Battery

Pack.

• We recommend charging the battery pack in

temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and

86 °F). If either the ambient temperature or the battery

pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F),

charging will not start.

• 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, use the AC adapter to power the camcorder from a

power outlet 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.
