Preparing the Power Supply

You can power the camcorder using a battery pack or directly using the supplied AC adapter. If you connect the
AC adapter to the camcorder while a battery pack is attached, the camcorder will draw power from the power
outlet.

Using a Battery Pack

You can power the camcorder using the supplied BP-828 Battery Pack or the optional BP-820 Battery Pack.
Both battery packs are compatible with Intelligent System so you can check the approximate remaining battery
usage time (in minutes) on the screen. For more accurate readings, when using a battery pack for the first time,
charge it fully and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted.
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge battery packs using the supplied CA-946 AC Adapter.
1 Make sure the power switch is set to OFF.
2 Connect the AC adapter's DC plug to the camcorder's DC IN
terminal.
3 Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
4 Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
5 Attach the battery pack to the camcorder.
• Press the battery pack softly into the battery attachment unit
and slide it forward until it clicks in place.
