format as in 1), the tape produced will be in the
DVCAM format and the time code format will be
partly misadjusted.

b Note
• If you use tapes as in 1) to 3) above for editing, the
functions may be limited regardless of the format of
players and recorders.
Limitations on editing
You may find the following limitations when
editing a tape produced by dubbing or editing
using the HDV/DV jack:
• Due to the difference in track pitch, you
cannot record or edit on DV-formatted tapes
using mini DVCAM video equipment.
• Depending on the DVCAM video equipment
used, you may not be able to edit DVCAM-
formatted tapes if the audio recording mode is
unlock mode. In this case, dub using audio/
video jacks.

About the
"InfoLITHIUM"
battery pack
This unit is compatible with the
"InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (L series). Your
camcorder operates only with the
"InfoLITHIUM" battery pack.
"InfoLITHIUM" L series battery packs have the
mark.
What is the "InfoLITHIUM" battery
pack?
The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack is a lithium-
ion battery pack that has functions for
communicating information related to operating
conditions between your camcorder and AC
Adaptor/charger.
The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack calculates
the power consumption according to the
operating conditions of your camcorder, and
displays the remaining battery time in minutes.
With an AC Adaptor/charger, the remaining
battery time and charging time appear.
To charge the battery pack
• Be sure to charge the battery pack before you
start using your camcorder.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in
an ambient temperature of between 10°C to
30°C (50°F to 86°F) until the CHARGE lamp
turns off. If you charge the battery pack
outside of this temperature range, you may not
be able to charge it efficiently.
• After charging is complete, remove the battery
pack.
To use the battery pack effectively
• Battery pack performance decreases when the
surrounding temperature is 10°C (50°F) or
below, and the length of time you can use the
battery pack becomes shorter. In that case, do
one of the following to use the battery pack for
a longer time.
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it
up, and insert it in your camcorder right
before you start taking shots.
