2. Preparation

Preparing a Power Supply

You can use a battery pack or AC power via an AC
adaptor.
For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and AC
adaptors listed below.
Lithium-ion battery pack
BP-FL75
BP-FLX75
AC adaptor
AC-DN2B
AC-DN10A
Using a Battery Pack
Insert the battery pack into the battery pack
mount (page 11) of the battery adaptor, then
slide the battery pack down to lock it in place.
To remove it, unlock the battery pack by sliding
it up while pressing the battery release lever
(page 11), then remove it.
[Notes]
ˎ Before use, charge the battery pack with the battery ˎ
charger.
ˎ A warm battery pack immediately after use may not be ˎ
able to be fully recharged.
ˎ Remove the battery adaptor while supporting the unit ˎ
by hand.
Checking the remaining battery charge
When recording or playback is in progress using
the battery pack, the current battery remaining
time and battery voltage are displayed on the sub
display screen (page 31) and viewfinder/monitor
screen (page 13).
The unit indicates the remaining usage time in
minutes by calculating the available time with
the battery pack if operation is continued at the
current rate of power consumption.
If the remaining battery charge becomes low
If the remaining battery charge decreases to a
certain level during operation, the remaining
battery capacity indicator flashes and the REC
lamp flashes to warn you.
If the remaining charge further decreases to a
level at which operation cannot be continued, a
battery-empty message appears.
Replace the battery pack with one that is fully
charged.
To change the message levels
Change levels using Technical > Battery
(page 70) in the full menu.
Using AC Power (DC IN Power)
The unit works with AC power using the AC-
DN10A (optional) or AC-DN2B AC adaptor
(optional) and CCDD-X2 DC cable (optional).
11 V to 17 V and 22 V to 32 V input voltage ranges
are supported.
[Notes]
ˎ When switching to the DC IN power supply during battery ˎ
operation, use a power supply with a voltage in the range
12 V to 17 V.
ˎ When using a 22 V to 32 V power supply, first set the
ˎ
power switch to the OFF position before connecting the
power supply.
ˎ Do not switch directly from a 11 V to 17 V power supply to ˎ
a 22 V to 32 V power supply, or vice versa. This may cause
a malfunction.
Using a Battery Pack and DC IN
Power Supply Together
Whenever an active power supply is applied using
a battery pack and a DC IN power supply, the DC
IN power supply takes precedence.
[Note]
When the power supply switches from battery operation to
the DC IN power supply, operation of the unit may stop if the
following occurs.
ˎ Chattering of the connector contacts when inserting the
ˎ
DC connector
ˎ Voltage drop when switching between power supplies ˎ
(more prevalent when the external load is greater)
