On the memory card adaptor
When using memory card with memory card
compliant device inserting memory card
into memory card adaptor, make sure the
memory card is inserted facing in the correct
direction. Note that improper use may cause a
malfunction.
On image data compatibility
Image data files recorded on memory card 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 (DCR-
TRV900 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 cards that have been
used with another device, format it with your
camcorder (p. 77). Note that formatting erases
all information on the memory card.
You may not be able to play back images with
your camcorder:

About the “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack
Your camcorder operates only with an
“InfoLITHIUM” V series battery packs.
“InfoLITHIUM” V series battery packs
have the
mark.
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.
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 10
C to 30
C
(50 °F to 86 °F) until the CHG (charge) lamp
turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside
of this temperature range, you may not be able
to charge it efficiently.
To use the battery pack effectively
Battery pack performance decreases when the
ambient temperature is 10
C (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.
