ª Using the Battery

Before use, fully charge the Battery.

≥We recommend using Panasonic’s Battery.

≥We cannot guarantee the quality of this Movie

Camera when batteries of other companies are

used.

1 Attach the Battery to the AC Adaptor and

charge it.

≥Since the Battery will not be charged when

the DC Input Lead is connected to the AC

Adaptor, disconnect it from the AC Adaptor.

≥The [POWER] Lamp and [CHARGE] Lamp

lights up, and charging starts.

≥When the [CHARGE] Lamp goes off,

charging is completed.

≥When charging the overdischarged battery,

the [CHARGE] lamp blinks at first, but the

battery is charged normally. When the

temperature of the battery is too high or low,

the [CHARGE] lamp blinks and the charging

time becomes longer than usual.

2 Attach the charged Battery to the Movie

Camera.

To Remove the Battery

Set the [OFF/ON] Switch (43) to [OFF], and while

sliding the [BATTERY RELEASE] Lever

(49),

slide the Battery to remove it.

≥When attaching or removing Battery, set the
