On the battery pack
• Before changing the battery pack, Turn the
POWER switch to OFF (CHG) and turn off the
(Movie) lamp/
(Still) lamp (p. 25).
• The CHG (charge) lamp flashes during
charging, or Battery Info (p. 23) will not be
correctly displayed under the following
conditions:
– The battery pack is not attached correctly.
– The battery pack is damaged.
– The battery pack is worn-out (For Battery
Info only).
• The power will not be supplied from the battery
as long as the AC Adaptor is connected to the
DC IN jack of your camcorder, even when the
power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.
• When attaching an optional video light, it is
recommended that you use an NP-FH70/NP-
FH100 battery pack (DCR-DVD308/DVD708).
• We do not recommend using an NP-FH30,
which only allows short recording and playback
times, with your camcorder.
On the charging/recording/playback time
• Times measured when using the camcorder at
25 °C (77 °F) (10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) is
recommended).
• The recording and playback time will be shorter
when you use your camcorder in low
temperatures.
• The recording and playback time will be shorter
depending on the conditions under which you
use your camcorder.
On the AC Adaptor
• Use the nearby wall outlet when using the AC
Adaptor. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the
