extremely low, you may not be able to record

or play back on the camcorder, due to the

protection features of the camcorder being

activated in such situations. In this case, an

indicator appears on the LCD screen or the

viewfinder.

Charging may not be possible with all

computers.

If you connect the camcorder to a laptop

manner.

Charging with a personally assembled

computer, with a converted computer, or
