Step 1 Preparing the power
supply
Notes
•The AC power adaptor can supply power even
if the battery pack is attached to your
camcorder.
•The DC IN jack has "source priority." This
means that the battery pack cannot supply any
power if the mains lead is connected to the DC
IN jack, even when the mains lead is not
plugged into a wall socket.
•Prevent metallic objects from coming into
contact with the metal parts of the DC cable of
the AC power adaptor. This may cause a short-
circuit, damaging the AC power adaptor.
Using a car battery
Use Sony Car Battery Adaptor (optional). Refer
to the operating instructions of the Car Battery
Adaptor for further information.
