• Times measured when using the camcorder at
25°C (77°F) (10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) is
recommended).

be shorter when you use your camcorder in low
temperatures.

be shorter depending on the conditions under
which you use your camcorder.
On the AC Adaptor
• Use the nearby wall outlet (wall socket) when
using the AC Adaptor. Disconnect the AC
Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket)
immediately if any malfunction occurs while
using your camcorder.
• Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow
space, such as between a wall and furniture.
• Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC
Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic
objects. This may cause a malfunction.
