About The "Infolithium" Battery Pack - Sony Handycam HDR-CX7 Handbook

• Do not leave the "Memory Stick Micro" within
the reach of small children. They might
accidentally swallow it.
On image data compatibility
• Image data files recorded on a "Memory Stick
PRO Duo" by your camcorder conform to the
"Design rule for Camera File system" universal
standard established by the JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association).
• On your camcorder, you cannot play back still
images recorded on other devices (DCR-
TRV900 or DSC-D700/D770) that do not
conform to the universal standard. (These
models are not sold in some regions.)
• If you cannot use a "Memory Stick PRO Duo"
that has been used with another device, format it
with your camcorder (p. 54). Note that
formatting erases all information on the
"Memory Stick PRO Duo."
• You may not be able to play back images with
your camcorder:
– When playing back image data modified on
your computer.
– When playing back image data recorded with
other devices.
About the "InfoLITHIUM"
battery pack
Your camcorder operates only with an
"InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (H series).

have the
What is an "InfoLITHIUM" battery
pack?
An "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions between your
camcorder and an optional 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.

mark.
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
turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside
of this temperature range, you may not be able
to charge it efficiently.
To use the battery pack effectively
• Battery pack performance decreases when the
ambient 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.
– Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FH70/
FH100 (optional).
• Frequent use of the LCD screen or a frequent
playback, fast forward or rewind operation
wears out the battery pack faster.
We recommend using a large capacity battery
pack: NP-FH70/FH100 (optional).
• Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF
(CHG) when not recording or playing back on
your camcorder. The battery pack is also
consumed when your camcorder is in recording
standby or playback pause.
• Have spare battery packs ready for 2 or 3 times
the expected recording time, and make trial
recordings before making the actual recording.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water resistant.
About the remaining battery time
indicator
• When the power goes off even though the
remaining battery time indicator indicates that
the battery pack has enough power to operate,
charge the battery pack fully again. Remaining
battery time will be indicated correctly. Note,
however, that the battery indication will not be
restored if it is used in high temperatures for a
long time, or if left in a fully charged state, or
