Use up the battery pack completely before
storing it.
Note on the camcorder/battery pack
temperature
When the temperature of the camcorder
or battery pack becomes extremely high or
extremely low, you may not be able to record
or play back on the camcorder, due to the
protection features of the camcorder being
activated in such situations. In this case, an
indicator appears on the LCD screen.
Notes on charging through the USB
cable
Charging may not be possible with all
computers.
If you connect the camcorder to a laptop
computer that is not connected to a power
source, the battery of the laptop computer will
continue to use up its charge. Do not leave the
camcorder connected to a computer in this
manner.
Charging with a personally assembled
computer, with a converted computer, or
through a USB hub are not guaranteed.
The camcorder may not function correctly
depending on the USB device which is used
with the computer.
When the camcorder is connected to
a computer or accessories
Do not try to format the recording media of the
camcorder with a computer. If you do so, your
camcorder may not operate correctly.
When connecting the camcorder to another
device with communication cables, be sure to
insert the connector plug in the correct way.
Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal
will damage the terminal and may result in a
malfunction of the camcorder.
When the camcorder is connected to other
devices through a USB connection and the
power of the camcorder is turned on, do not
close the LCD panel. The image data that has
been recorded may be lost.
Notes on optional accessories
We recommend using genuine Sony accessories.
Genuine Sony accessories may not be available
in some countries/regions.
Multi interface shoe
When using a dedicated microphone or
portable speaker, their power turns on or off
according to the power of your camcorder.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the accessory used for details.
To attach an accessory, insert and fix the
accessory to the Multi interface shoe by pressing
down and sliding until it stops.
When you are recording movies with an
external flash (sold separately) connected to
the accessory shoe, turn off the power of the
external flash to prevent charging noise from
being recorded.
When an external microphone (sold separately)
is connected, it takes precedence over the built-
in microphone.
On handling the LCD screen
If you leave fingerprints, hand cream, etc. on
the LCD screen, the coating of the LCD screen
will come off easily. Wipe those off as soon as
possible.
If you wipe the LCD screen strongly with a
tissue, etc., the coating of the LCD screen may
be scratched.
If the LCD screen becomes dirty with
fingerprints or dust, it is recommended that you
gently remove those from the screen then clean
it with a soft cloth, etc.
