7-1-2 Avoiding Breaks in Operation
Due to an Exhausted Battery
If you use both an internal battery pack (attached to the
camcorder) and an external battery (connected to the DC
IN connector) at the same time, you can avoid breaks in
Battery pack
operation due to dead batteries.
Align these lines.
When the external battery begins to fail and an
internal battery pack is also used
Remove the DC output cable from the DC IN connector.
The power source will switch to the internal battery pack.
