Preparations
Preparing the Power Supply You can power the camcorder using a battery pack or directly using the
compact power adapter. If you connect the compact power adapter to
the camcorder while a battery pack is attached, the camcorder will draw
power from the power outlet.
Charge battery packs before use. For approximate charging times and
recording/playback times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to
Charging Times (0 196) and Recording and Playback Times (0 196).
Using a Battery Pack
You can power the camcorder using the supplied BP-955 or optional
BP-975, BP-950G or BP-970G Battery Pack. The BP-955 and BP-975
Battery Packs are compatible with Intelligent System, meaning that you
can check the remaining battery time.
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge battery packs using the supplied compact power adapter. Before
charging, disconnect the DC cable from the compact power adapter and
remove the terminal cover of the battery pack.
1 If the DC cable is connected to the compact power adapter,
disconnect it.
