Getting Started
1
If you intend to use the LCD monitor for a long time or connect the camera
to a PC, use of the AC adapter D-AC8 (optional) is recommended.
1 Make sure that the camera is turned off and open the
terminal cover.
2 Connect the DC terminal on the AC adapter to the DC
input terminal on the camera, being sure to match the
4
symbols.
3 Connect the AC plug cord to the AC adapter.
4 Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.
Using the AC Adapter (optional)
• Make sure that the camera is turned off when connecting or
disconnecting the AC adapter.
• Make sure that the AC plug cord and connecting cord are inserted
securely. If the cord becomes disconnected while you are taking
pictures, the data may be lost.
• When using the AC adapter D-AC8, be sure to read the operation
manual accompanying the AC adapter.
• When connecting the DC terminals, be sure to match the
4
symbols. Inserting the plugs with too much force may damage
