seconds before it turns off.
• Since the AC Adapter processes electricity
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be
sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
• After 5 minutes have elapsed in Record-
Standby mode with the cassette inserted and
no operation is performed, the camcorder
will automatically turn off its power supplied
from the AC adapter. In this case, the battery
charge starts if the battery is attached to the
camcorder.
• Please do not pull or bend the AC adapter plug
and cable. This may damage the AC adapter.

Notes:
• Recording time is reduced signifi cantly under
the following conditions:
• Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged

• Before extended use, it is recommended that
you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3
times the planned shooting time.
