2. Preparation
Power Supply
You can use a battery pack or AC power
supply from an AC adaptor.
For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and
AC adaptors listed below.
Lithium-ion battery packs
BP-GL95B
AC adaptor
AC-DN10A
Using a Battery Pack
Insert the battery pack into the battery pack
mount (page 7) of the battery adaptor,
then slide the battery pack down to lock it in
place.
To remove it, press and hold the battery
release lever (page 7) to unlock the
battery pack and slide the battery pack up.
[Notes]
• Before use, charge the battery pack with the battery
charger.
• A warm battery pack immediately after use may not
be able to be fully recharged.
• Remove the battery adaptor while supporting the unit
by hand.
Checking the remaining capacity
When recording or playback is in progress
using the battery pack, the current battery
remaining time and battery voltage are
displayed on the LCD monitor.
The unit indicates the remaining usage time in
minutes by calculating the available time with
the battery pack if operation is continued at
the current rate of power consumption.
If the remaining battery charge becomes
low
If the remaining battery charge decreases to a
certain level during operation, the remaining
battery capacity indicator flashes and the REC
lamp flashes to warn you.
If the remaining charge further decreases to a
level at which operation cannot be continued,
a battery-empty message appears.
Replace the battery pack with one that is fully
charged.
Changing the warning levels
Change levels using Technical >Camera
Battery Alarm (page 60) in the full menu.
Using AC Power (DC IN Power)
The unit works with AC power using a 100W
AC adaptor.
Supports 11 V to 17 V input voltage range.
An alarm will appear if the input voltage
falls below set levels. You can change the
levels using Technical >Camera DC IN Alarm
(page 60) in the full menu.
[Note]
When switching to the DC IN power supply during
battery operation, use a power supply with a voltage in
the range 12 V to 17 V for safer power supply switching.
Using a Battery Pack and DC IN
Power Supply Together
Whenever an active power supply is applied
using a battery pack and a DC IN power
supply, the DC IN power supply takes
precedence.
[Note]
When the power supply switches from battery operation
to the DC IN power supply, operation of the unit may
stop if the following occurs.
• Chattering of the connector contacts when inserting
the DC connector
• Voltage drops when switching between power
supplies (more prevalent when the power
consumption is high)
