Step 2: Charging the battery pack
You can charge the “InfoLITHIUM”
battery pack (P series) (p. 116) after
attaching it to your camcorder.
• You cannot use the battery pack NP-FP30 with
your camcorder (confirm the battery model on
the back of the battery pack). If you attach it
forcibly to your camcorder, the battery pack
may be damaged or cannot be detached, and it
may cause a malfunction of your camcorder.
• You can operate your camcorder connected to a
power source such as a wall outlet as shown in
the illustration. The battery pack will not lose its
charge in this case.
1 Attach the battery pack to your
camcorder.
1 Slide the BATT (battery release) lever
and remove the battery terminal cover.
2 Attach the battery pack by sliding it in
the direction of the arrow until it clicks.
