Chapter 8: MENU mode/BATTERY SETUP menu

Using the "DC-IN warning" item, you can set the threshold low battery voltage for generating
the warning tone when an external battery is connected to the [DC-IN] connector.
When the battery voltage drops down to the threshold voltage for warning, you can hear the
warning tone via headphones.

<Note>:

When you make recording using the power supplied from the [DC-IN] con-

nector, if the power drops down to the threshold voltage, the warning message
appears on the display. And after a minute passes, the unit automatically stops
recording. However, if a battery is also mounted to the unit and the "Power priority"
item is set to "DC-IN", the unit automatically switches the power source to the bat-
tery when the warning message appears on the display so you can continue record-
ing.
