Removing the DC cable from the
camcorder
Perform steps 1 and 2 above. Press the power
source PUSH release button (1), and slide the
connecting plate up and take it out (2).
Cautions:
• BEFORE REMOVING THE DC CABLE,
ALWAYS STOP RECORDING OR PLAYBACK
AND TURN THE POWER OFF.
Removing the DC
cable while shooting or during playback may
damage the tape by causing it to wrap around
the video head drum or may destroy the
SmartMedia card, rendering it unreadble and
unwritable.

if you will not use the camcorder for a long
period of time.
