Getting started
Step 1 Preparing the power supply
Remaining battery time indicator
The remaining battery time you record with the viewfinder is displayed.
The remaining battery time indicator in the display window roughly indicates the
recording time with the viewfinder.
Until your camcorder calculates the actual remaining battery time
“– – – – min” appears in the display window.
While charging the battery pack, no indicator appears or the indicator flashes in
the display window in the following cases:
– The AC power adapter is disconnected.
– The battery pack is not installed properly.
– Something is wrong with the battery pack.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between
10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F.)
If the power goes off although the battery remaining indicator indicates that the
battery pack has enough power to operate
Charge the battery pack fully again so that the indication on the battery remaining
indicator is correct.
