Place the three grooves on the side of
the battery into the slots on the AC
adapter/charger so the battery rests flat
on the AC adapter/charger, as shown at
right. The arrows on the each side of
the battery should be aligned with the
arrows on the AC adapter/charger.
Then slide the battery toward the
POWER light until it clicks in place.
The CHARGE light will appear.
3
Wait for approximately one hour while
the battery charges. When the battery
is finished charging, the CHARGE light

It takes approximately one hour to charge a one-hour (part
number V80146BKO1) battery and two hours to charge a two-
hour (part number 483513817046) battery. The part number
can be found on the back of the battery.
Charging these batteries on a charger other than the one pro-
vided may result in over-charging, which reduces battery life.
The battery must be charged until the CHARGE light disap-
pears to ensure normal battery life of one hour of playing or
recording time.
If the CHARGE light goes out shortly after charging begins,
remove the battery and use it. If the battery soon runs low on
power, you may need to purchase a new battery.
Use the battery until it is completely empty (discharged).
Always charge the battery after soon after using it. A battery
that remains uncharged for a long time may never take a charge
again.
Do not use a charger other than that specified.
Do not try to use an insufficiently charged or worn out battery.

Shutter Speeds
Your camcorder is equipped with a
high speed shutter to prevent blurring
when you record fast movements.
Normal shutter speed is 1/60 of a sec-
ond, but it can be changed to a faster
speed, up to 1/10,000 of a second. To
select a shutter speed, follow the steps
below.

lfno shutter speed appears on the display screen of the EVF,
the shutter speed is 1/60 of a second.
• The shutter speed will return to 1/60 of a second when the cam-
"corder is turned off.
The high speed shutter requires more light than the standard
speed shutter. If adequate lighting is not available, you may
have to switch back to standard shutter speed.
The high speed shutter requires a lot of light. Forproper color
reflroduction, you should use it outdoors. But, !f you use it
indoors, you should provide additional light with a halogen or
tungsten light (fluorescent light will result in poor picture qual-
ity .)
The camcorder may not focus automatically when you are using
the high speed shutter without enough light.

When the camcorder is in CAM or VCR position and is powered
by the battery, the camcorder will turn itself off if it is not used .
for several minutes. When the camcorder is in CAM position
and is powered by the AC adapter/charger, the camcorder will
turn itself off if it is not used for several minutes.
You cannot charge the battery and supply the camcorder with .
power using the A C adapter/charger at the same time.
On pages 6 and 7 we described how to
use the battery that came with the cam-
corder to supply power to the cam-
corder. You can also use the AC
adapter/charger and the DC power cord
that came with the camcorder to supply
the camcorder with electrical power.
Just follow the steps below.
1
Connect one end of the DC cord to the
DC IN(put) jack on the back of the
camcorder.
2
Connect the other end of the DC cord
to the DC OUTPUT jack on the AC

Because the color enhancement light uses a lot of power, the
battery will not last as long when a color enhancement light is
being used.
When the camcorder is turned on, a current always flows to the
terminal that the color enhancement light is attached to Never
touch the terminal with your fingers or metal when the color
enhancement light is attached to the camcorder.
Do not touch the lamp with yourfingers.
