Connecting to a wall socket

When you use your camcorder for a long time, it is recommended that you power it
from a wall socket using the AC adaptor.
1
Open the DC IN jack cover, then connect the AC adaptor supplied with your
camcorder to the DC IN jack on your camcorder with the plug's v mark facing
up.
2
Connect the mains lead to the AC adaptor.
3
Connect the mains lead to a wall socket.
See page 16 for details.
Notes
•The AC 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 AC adaptor is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the mains
lead is not plugged into a wall socket.
•Your camcorder is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall socket, even if your camcorder itself has been turned off.
