Preparing the Power Supply
Press the BATT. INFO button to display the remaining battery charge (for 5
seconds). Depending on the battery life, the battery information may not be
displayed.
NOTES
• The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the
camera until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time
will be displayed accurately.
• Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the
battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A 185) or the battery information screen (press the
BATT. INFO button while the camera is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will
give you a more accurate reading.
Using a Household Power Outlet
You can also power the camera directly from a power outlet
using the supplied CA-941 Compact Power Adapter.
1 Set the Q switch to OFF.
2 Connect the compact power adapter’s DC plug to the DC
IN terminal on the camera.
3 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter
and plug it into a power outlet.
IMPORTANT
• Turn off the camera before connecting or disconnecting the
compact power adapter.
NOTES
• When using the camera with a household power outlet, you
can change the battery pack while the power is on.
