consumed.

1. Turn the switch to .

2. Connect the power cord to the

power adapter.

3. Plug the power cord into a power

outlet.

4. Open the front terminal cover and

zooming, power on/off.

We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and

30 °C. Outside the temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C the charging will not

start. If the battery temperature goes outside this temperature range while

charging, the CHARGE indicator will start flashing rapidly and the charging will

stop.

A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike

conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it

before charging.

To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record

pause mode.

We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you

think you might need.

and the subject will see a mirror image. In the LCD mirror mode, only the tape and card

operation and the self-timer displays will appear on the LCD screen. All displays will

appear normally on the viewfinder screen.

Rotating the panel by 180 degrees is also useful if you wish to include yourself

when recording with the self-timer ( 51).
