On image data compatibility
• Image data files recorded on a memory card by
your camcorder conform to the “Design rule for
Camera File system” universal standard
established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and
Information Technology Industries
Association).
• If you cannot use the memory card that has been
used with another device, format it with your
camcorder using the procedure on page 83. Note
that formatting erases all information on the
memory card.
• You may not be able to play back images with
your camcorder:
– When playing back image data modified on
your computer.
– When playing back image data recorded with
other devices.
Your camcorder operates only with an
“InfoLITHIUM” L series battery pack of a
large capacity, such as the NP-F770 and
NP-F970 (sold separately).
“InfoLITHIUM” L series battery packs
have the mark.
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack?
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions between your
camcorder and a supplied AC Adaptor.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack displays
the remaining battery time in % according
to the operating situations of your
camcorder.
To use the battery pack effectively
• Battery pack performance decreases when the
ambient temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) or below,
and the length of time you can use the battery
pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one of the
following to use the battery pack for a longer
time.
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up,
and install it in your camcorder right before
you start taking shots.
• Make sure to turn off the camcorder when you
are not recording or playing back. The battery
pack is also consumed when your camcorder is
in recording standby or playback pause.
• Have spare battery packs ready for 2 or 3 times
the expected recording time, and make trial
recordings before making the actual recording.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water resistant.
About the remaining battery indicator
• Check the level with the following indicators
and % displayed on the LCD screen.
• The displayed level may not be correct under
certain circumstances.
• When the power goes off even though the
remaining battery percent indicator indicates
that the battery pack has enough power to
operate, charge the battery pack fully again.
Remaining battery percent will be indicated
correctly. Note, however, that the battery
indication will not be restored if it is used in
high temperatures for a long time, or if left in a
fully charged state, or when the battery pack is
frequently used. Use the remaining battery
percent indication as a rough guide only.
About storage of the battery pack
• If the battery pack is not used for a long time,
fully charge the battery pack and use it up on
your camcorder once a year to maintain proper
function. To store the battery pack, remove it
from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool
place.
• To discharge the battery pack on your
camcorder completely, leave your camcorder in
recording standby until the power goes off.
