Notes The remaining battery time may not be indicated in the following cases: The battery pack is not installed correctly. The battery pack is damaged. The battery pack is empty. The number displayed as Battery Info is the approximate recording time. While the remaining battery time is being calculated, CALCULATING BATTERY INFO. is displayed. It may take some time to display the remaining battery time after DISPLAY/BATT INFO is pressed.
Connecting to a wall socket
When you use your camcorder for a long time, it is recommended that you power it from a wall socket using the AC adaptor.
Open the DC IN jack cover, then connect the AC adaptor supplied with your camcorder to the DC IN jack on your camcorder with the plugs v mark facing up. Connect the mains lead to the AC adaptor. Connect the mains lead to a wall socket. See page 16 for details.
WARNING Your camcorder is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall socket, even if your camcorder itself has been turned off. Notes The AC adaptor can supply power even if the battery pack is attached to your camcorder. The DC IN jack has source priority. This means that the battery pack cannot supply any power if the AC adaptor is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the mains lead is not plugged into a wall socket.
Step 2 Opening the LCD screen
LCD screen is used for such as changing settings, shooting images in various angles, and reviewing recorded images.

You cannot copy a DVD-RW recorded in VR mode to a DVD-R. Use another DVD-RW. Using DVD-RWs for the copied media prevents you from unfinalising and making additional recordings on your camcorder because the format of copied media is different from that of your camcorder. You must format the DVD-RW to record additional material on the disc. Tip To use the disc with other DVD authoring applications, an export procedure is required. For details, see the ImageMixer on-line help.

Charging the battery pack
Be sure to charge the battery pack before you start using your camcorder. It is recommended to charge the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10C to 30C until POWER/CHG (Charge) lamp turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range, you may not be able to efficiently charge the battery pack. After charging is completed, either disconnect the cable from the DC IN jack on your camcorder or remove the battery pack.
How to store the battery pack
If the battery pack is not used for a long time, perform the following procedure once per year to maintain proper battery function. 1. Fully charge the battery pack. 2. Discharge it using your camcorder. 3. Remove the battery from the camcorder and store it in a dry, cool place. To use the battery pack up on your camcorder, leave your camcorder in the recording standby without a disc inserted with the [A. SHUT OFF] to [NEVER] in the (SETUP MENU) in the SETUP display until the power goes off.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery pack performance decreases in lowtemperature surroundings and recording may not be possible even though the battery time remaining may be as much as 20 minutes. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use: Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in your camcorder immediately before you start taking shots. Use a large capacity battery pack (NPFM70/QM71/QM71D/FM91/QM91/ QM91D, optional). Frequently using the LCD screen or frequently operating playback, fast forward or backward wears out a battery pack faster. It is recommended that you use the large capacity battery pack (NP-FM70/QM71/ QM71D/FM91/QM91/QM91D, optional).

Battery life

The battery life is limited. Battery capacity drops little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the available battery time is shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Buy a new battery pack. The battery life varies according to how it is stored, the operating conditions, and the environment in which each battery pack is used.
