You can use a battery pack or AC power supply
from an AC adapter.
When an AC adapter is connected, the AC
adapter has priority even when a battery pack is
attached.
For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and
AC adaptors listed below.
Lithium-ion battery packs
BP-U30 (supplied)
BP-U60
BP-U60T
BP-U90
AC adapters/chargers
BC-U1A (supplied)
BC-U2A
Do not store battery packs in locations exposed to
direct sunlight, flame, or high temperature.
Note
• When operating from a power outlet, use the supplied
AC adapter.
To attach a battery pack, plug the battery pack
into the attachment
(page 9) as far as it will go,
and then slide it down to lock it into position.
To remove a battery pack, press and hold the
BATT RELEASE button
(page 9) , slide the
battery pack up and then pull it out of the
attachment.
Notes
• Before use, charge the battery pack with the BC-U1A
(supplied) or BC-U2A Charger.
• Charging a battery immediately after use while it is
still warm may not fully recharge the battery.
• The BP-U30 cannot be used at the same time as a
modem. To power a modem, use a BP-U60, BP-U60T,
or BP-U90 battery pack.
• The high-capacity BP-U90 Battery Pack is large, and
protrudes from the camcorder when attached. The BP-
U90 is convenient when using the camcorder attached
to a tripod for extended recording periods.
Checking the remaining capacity
When recording or playback is in progress on the
battery pack, an icon to show the current battery
charge level and usage time remaining are
displayed on the LCD/viewfinder screen
(page 12) .
The camcorder indicates the remaining usage
time in minutes by calculating the available time
with the battery pack if operation is continued at
the current rate of power consumption.
If the battery pack charge becomes low
If the remaining battery charge falls below a
certain level during operation (Low Battery
state), a low-battery message appears, the
recording/tally lamp starts flashing, and a beep
sound will warn you.
If the remaining battery charge falls below the
level at which operation cannot continue (Battery
Empty state), a battery-empty message appears.
Replace with a charged battery pack.
Changing the warning levels
The Low Battery level is set to 10% of full battery
charge and the Battery Empty level is set to 3% by
factory default. You can change the warning level
settings using Battery Alarm
(page 122) in the
System menu.
