Connecting to a wall outlet

You can use your camcorder without worrying about the power shortage.
Connect the AC Adaptor in the same way as you do when charging the battery pack.
PRECAUTION
The set is not disconnected from the AC power source (house current) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the set itself has been turned off.
Notes
•The AC Adaptor can supply power from a wall outlet 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 power cord is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power
cord is not plugged into a wall outlet.
