Powering the
Camcorder from an
AC Outlet
You can also power the camcorder from a
power outlet by using the supplied AC
adapter.
Note:
• The supplied AC adapter is specially
designed for use with this camcorder, and
should not be used as a power supply for
other camcorders.
1 Make sure that the Power switch is
set to OFF.
2 Open the DC IN jack cover.
3 Connect the supplied power cord
to the AC power socket on the AC
adapter, and insert the AC plug
into a power outlet.
4 Insert the DC plug into the DC IN
jack of the camcorder.
5 Hold down the Lock button and set
the Power switch to v or w.
• The POWER/CHARGE (RED)
indicator lights up green.
Notes:
• BEFORE REMOVING THE DC PLUG,
ALWAYS STOP RECORDING OR PLAY-
BACK AND TURN THE POWER OFF.
Removing the DC plug while shooting or
during playback may damage the tape by
causing it to wrap around the video head
drum.
• Disconnect the AC adapter from the
camcorder if you will not use the camcorder
for a long period of time.
