Using an outside power source
You can use the AC Adaptor to obtain the
AC power. While you are using the AC
Adaptor, the battery pack will not lose its
charge even when it is attached to your
camcorder.
Follow the procedure from 1 to 3 as shown
in “Step 2: Charging the battery pack” on
page 18.
b Notes
• The video light does not turn on when the AC
adaptor AC-L100C (supplied) is used. To use
the video light, use a battery pack (sold
separately) (p. 45).
• By using the connecting cord DK-415 1-782-
361- (sold separately) and the AC Adaptor/
Charger AC-VL1 1-487-539- (sold separately),
you can use the video light while using the
camcorder on AC power. To purchase these
products, consult your local authorized Sony
service facility.
On the AC Adaptor
• Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC
Adaptor or battery terminal with any metallic
objects. This may cause a malfunction.
Step 3: Attaching the
microphone and the
lens hood with lens
cover
This section explains how to connect an
external microphone. (ECM-673 (sold
separately) is used for illustration
purposes.) Refer also to the instruction
manual of the actual microphone to be used.
The following microphones are
recommended.
• ECM-673 (INPUT TRIM set to [+6dB]
recommended)
• ECM-VG1
• ECM-MS2 (stereo)
