What is ”InfoLITHIUM”?
The “InfoLITHIUM” is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data such as
battery consumption with compatible electronic equipment. This unit is compatible
with the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (S series). Your camcorder operates only with the
“InfoLITHIUM” battery.
“InfoLITHIUM” S series battery packs have the
mark.
“InfoLITHIUM” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Charging temperature
The temperature range for charging is 32 ˚F to 104 ˚F (0 ˚C to 40 ˚C).
However, to provide maximum battery efficiency, the recommended temperature range
when charging is 50 ˚F to 86 ˚F (10 ˚C to 30 ˚C).
If the power may go off although the battery remaining indicator indicates that
the battery pack has enough power to operate
Charge the battery pack fully again so that the indication on the battery remaining
indicator is correct.
After charging the battery pack
Remove the battery pack from the AC adaptor.
Note on NP-F10/FS11
The battery life will be shorter when you carry out recording in a cold place or with the
LCD panel opened. We recommend that you use the NP-FS21/FS31 large capacity
battery pack (not supplied).
Plug the power cord deeply
Be sure to plug the power cord deeply into the terminal of AC power adaptor so that it
is firmly locked. If there is a gap between the plug of power cord and the terminal of
AC power adaptor, it does not affect the efficiency of the AC power adaptor.
