Preparing the Power Supply
Press the BATT. INFO button to display the remaining battery charge for 5
seconds. Depending on the battery life, the battery information may not be
displayed.
NOTES
• The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the
camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording
time will be displayed accurately.
• Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the
battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A 173) or the battery information screen (press the
BATT. INFO button while the camcorder is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it
will give you a more accurate reading.
Using a Household Power Outlet
You can also power the camcorder directly from a
power outlet using the supplied CA-941 Compact
Power Adapter.
1 Set the Q switch to OFF.
2 Connect the compact power adapter’s DC plug to
the DC IN terminal on the camcorder.
3 Connect the power cord to the compact power
adapter and plug it into a power outlet.
IMPORTANT
• Turn off the camcorder before connecting or
disconnecting the compact power adapter.
NOTES
• When using the camcorder with a household power
outlet, you can change the battery pack while the power is on.
