To use a wall outlet (wall socket) as a power source
Make the same connections as Step 1: Charging the battery pack. Even if the battery pack is attached, the battery pack is not discharged.
Charging the battery pack abroad
You can charge the battery pack in any countries/regions using the AC Adaptor supplied with your camcorder within the AC 100 V - 240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz range.
Notes Do not use an electronic voltage transformer.
Notes on the battery pack
When you remove the battery pack or disconnect the AC Adaptor, close the LCD screen and make sure (Movie)/ (Photo) lamps (p.20), the access lamp (p.19) are turned off. that the The /CHG (flash/charge) lamp flashes during charging under the following conditions: The battery pack is not attached correctly. The battery pack is damaged. The temperature of the battery pack is low. Remove the battery pack from your camcorder and put it in a warm place. The temperature of the battery pack is high. Remove the battery pack from your camcorder and put it in a cool place. When attaching a video light (sold separately), it is recommended that you use an NP-FV70 or NP-FV100 battery pack. We do not recommend using an NP-FV30, which only allows short recording and playback times, with your camcorder. In the default setting, the power turns off automatically if you leave your camcorder without any operation for about 5 minutes, to save battery power ([A.SHUT OFF], p.83).

Notes 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.
Step 2: Turning the power on, and setting the date and time

Do not bend, drop or apply strong force to the Memory Stick PRO Duo media. Do not disassemble or modify the Memory Stick PRO Duo media. Do not let the Memory Stick PRO Duo media get wet. Keep the Memory Stick PRO Duo media out of the reach of small children. There is danger that a child might swallow it. Do not insert anything other than Memory Stick PRO Duo media into the Memory Stick Duo media slot. Doing so may cause a malfunction. Do not use or keep the Memory Stick PRO Duo media in the following locations: Places subject to extremely high temperature, such as a car parked outside in the summer Places under direct sunlight Places with extremely high humidity or subject to corrosive gases

On the Memory Stick Duo media adaptor
Image data files recorded on Memory Stick PRO Duo media by your camcorder conform to the Design rule for Camera File system universal standard established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). On your camcorder, you cannot play back photos recorded on other devices (DCRTRV900 or DSC-D700/D770) that do not conform to the universal standard. (These models are not sold in some regions.) If you cannot use Memory Stick PRO Duo media that have been used with another device, format it with your camcorder (p.79).

Your camcorder operates only with an InfoLITHIUM V series battery packs. InfoLITHIUM V series battery packs mark. have the
What is an InfoLITHIUM battery pack?
An InfoLITHIUM battery pack is a lithium-ion battery pack that has functions for communicating information related to operating conditions between your camcorder
and an AC Adaptor/charger (sold separately). The InfoLITHIUM battery pack calculates the power consumption according to the operating conditions of your camcorder, and displays the remaining battery time in minutes. The battery pack NP-FV50 is compatible with ActiFORCE. ActiFORCE is a new generation power system. Battery capacity, boost charge, and the speed and accuracy of battery time remaining calculations have been improved when compared with current InfoLITHIUM P-series battery.
Have spare battery packs ready for 2 or 3 times the expected recording time, and make trial recordings before making the actual recording. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant.

About the remaining battery time indicator
To charge the battery pack
Be sure to charge the battery pack before you start using your camcorder. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10C to 30C (50 F to 86 F) until the /CHG (flash/charge) lamp turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range, you may not be able to charge it efficiently.
When the power goes off even though the remaining battery time indicator indicates that the battery pack has enough power to operate, charge the battery pack fully again. Remaining battery time will be indicated correctly. Note, however, that the battery indication will not be restored if it is used in high temperatures for a long time, or if left in a fully charged state, or when the battery pack is frequently used. Use the remaining battery time indication as a rough guide only. The mark that indicates low battery flashes even if there are still 20 minutes of battery time remaining, depending on the operating conditions or ambient temperature.
To use the battery pack effectively
About storage of the battery pack
Battery pack performance decreases when the ambient temperature is 10C (50 F) or below, and the length of time you can use the battery pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one of the following to use the battery pack for a longer time. Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up, and install it on your camcorder right before you start taking shots. Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FV70/ NP-FV100 (sold separately). Frequent use of the LCD screen or a frequent playback, fast forward or reverse operation wears out the battery pack faster. We recommend using a large capacity battery pack: NP-FV70/NP-FV100 (sold separately). Be sure to close the LCD screen when not recording or playing back on your camcorder. The battery pack is also consumed when your camcorder is in recording standby or playback pause.
If the battery pack is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery pack and use it up on your camcorder once a year to maintain proper function. To store the battery pack, remove it from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool place. To discharge the battery pack on your (MENU) camcorder completely, touch [Show others] [POWER SETTINGS] [GENERAL SET] category) (under [A.SHUT OFF] [NEVER], and leave your camcorder in recording standby until the power goes off (p.83).

Summary
Superior performance and superb image quality are assured with the beautifully designed Handycam HDR-CX350V camcorder. Light, compact and styled in a stunning matte finish, the CX350V offers Full HD imaging, the latest optical technology plus a range of smart features exclusive to Sony. It's designed to make capturing your precious memories in outstanding quality, easy and intuitive. There's plenty of internal storage so you can shoot up to 13 hours of Full HD video on its 32GB of internal flash memory. Group shots and landscapes look just as you intended thanks to a wide angle lens and 12x optical zoom. Want to take still photos too? A 7MP still camera gives great results without the need for a separate stills camera. Plus shooting in low light is made easier by the acclaimed Exmor R sensor. Everything you shoot on the CX350V will look sharp and clear. That's because it uses AVCHD (Audio Video Compression for HD), a new high definition movie recording format. It lets you shoot videos which capture five times the detail of a standard definition camcorder in Full HD 1920 x 1080 at a maximum bit rate of 24MBps for even greater clarity. HDR-CX350 Features
