Powering Your Camcorder Before operating your camera, you will need to use the power adapter to: provide power from an AC outlet or charge battery packs Notes: • The power adapter converts current from a household power socket (100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz) to the DC current used by your camera. - Page 8 Charging and attaching battery packs Your battery pack was partially charged before it left the factory. It should have enough power for you to check that your camera is working properly. However, you must charge the battery pack fully if you want it to power the camera for more than a few minutes.
- Page 9 Notes: • The adapter can charge a single battery pack from either side, A or B. If you attach two battery packs, charging begins from the battery you first attach to the adapter, or, if the adapter was already plugged into an AC outlet, from the side labeled “A”.

Tips for Making Better Videos Holding the camera For maximum stability, grip the camera firmly with your right hand and keep your right elbow pressed against your body. Support the camera underneath with your left hand. With practice, you will be able to operate the controls by touch, without taking your eye off the action. - Page 26 Picture angle Instead of zooming while recording, try to choose your picture angle before you begin.

Page 48: Adjusting Focus Manually
Adjusting Focus Manually The camera can focus automatically. All you have to do is point it, and whatever is in the center of the display will usually be in sharp focus. If it does not seem to be focusing well, it may be because the subject is not suitable for autofocus (p. 69). It also has functions which give you more control over focusing. -
Page 49: Setting The White Balance
Setting the White Balance The camera’s auto white balance system compensates for a wide range of lighting conditions. Although slight variations are unavoidable, colors will appear natural in virtually every situation. In some cases, you will get better results by setting the white balance yourself, or using one of the two preset modes: Indoor Mode... - Page 50 Setting the white balance manually will probably work better than auto white balance when shooting: Subjects with one dominant color, such as sky, sea or forest. Close-ups In rapidly changing lighting conditions In places lit by certain types of fluorescent or mercury vapor lights.
