— Getting started — Using this manual The instructions in this manual are for the two models listed in the table below. Before you start reading this manual and operating your camcorder, check the model number by looking at the bottom of your camcorder (The DCR-IP7BT is marked as “DCR-IP7” on the bottom of the unit). The DCR-IP7BT is the model used for illustration purposes. Otherwise, the model name is indicated in the illustrations.
Using this manual Precautions on camcorder care Lens and LCD screen/finder (on mounted models only) [a] [b] [c] [d] Getting started •The LCD screen and the finder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen and the finder.
Checking supplied accessories Make sure that the following accessories are supplied with your camcorder.
Checking supplied accessories 1 Wireless Remote Commander (1) (p. 192) RMT-817: DCR-IP7BT RMT-818: DCR-IP5 3 NP-FF50 battery pack (1) (p. 18, 19) 4 Size AA (R6) batteries for the Remote Commander (2) (p. 192) 5 USB cable* (1) (p. 157) 6 “Memory Stick”* (1) (p. 108) qs Battery terminal cover (1) (p. 18) qd BTA-NW1 Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function** (1) qf MDM-5614G Modem card** (1) qg Modem cable** (1) Getting started 2 AC-L20A AC power adaptor (1), the power cord (1) (p.
Step 1 Preparing the power supply Installing the battery pack We recommend that you use the battery pack when you use your camcorder outdoors. (1) While turning down the VBATT (battery) release lever in the direction of the arrow 1, remove the battery terminal cover in the direction of the arrow 2. (2) Install the battery pack in the direction of the arrow until it clicks. 1 2 2 1 To remove the battery pack The battery pack is removed in the same way as the battery terminal cover.
Step 1 Preparing the power supply Charging the battery pack (1) Open the jack cover and connect the AC power adaptor supplied with your camcorder to the DC IN jack with the plug’s v mark facing the lens side. (2) Connect the power cord to the AC power adaptor. (3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet. (4) Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG). The CHG lamp lights up when the charge begins. After the charge is completed, the CHG lamp goes out (full charge).
Step 1 Preparing the power supply While the battery pack is being charged, the CHG lamp flashes in the following cases: – The battery pack is not installed correctly. – Something is wrong with the battery pack. When you use the AC power adaptor Place the AC power adaptor near the wall outlet. If any trouble occurs with this unit, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet as soon as possible to cut off the power.
Step 1 Preparing the power supply If the power runs out quickly even though sufficient remaining battery time is indicated Fully charge the battery pack so that the correct battery remaining time will be indicated. 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 (F series). Your camcorder operates only with the “InfoLITHIUM” battery.
Step 1 Preparing the power supply Notes •The AC power adaptor cannot supply power if the battery pack is attached to your camcorder. •The DC IN jack has “source priority.” This means that the battery pack cannot supply power when the power cord is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power cord is not plugged into a wall outlet. A car battery You cannot use car batteries with the camcorder.
Step 2 Setting the date and time (1) Set the POWER switch to CAMERA or MEMORY (DCR-IP7BT only). The CAMERA or MEMORY lamp (DCR-IP7BT only) lights up.

When your area is in daylight saving time, select ON, when not in daylight saving time, select OFF. (8) Select the year, then press the center z on the control button. (9) Set the month, day and hour with the same procedure as that in step 8. (10) Set the minute, and enter it using the time signal.
Step 2 Setting the date and time Note Instead of DST SET, SUMMERTIME is displayed on the screen for some models. Note on the time indicator The internal clock of your camcorder operates on a 12-hour cycle. – 12:00 AM stands for midnight. – 12:00 PM stands for noon. Getting started If you do not set the date and time “– – – – – – – – –” and “– –:– –:– –” are recorded on the tape or the “Memory Stick” (DCR-IP7BT only) as the data code.
