Preparing the Power Supply
You can power the camcorder using a battery pack or directly using the PD-E1 USB Power Adapter. If you
connect the USB power adapter to the camcorder while a battery pack is attached, the camcorder will draw
power from the power outlet.
Charging a Battery Pack
You can power the camcorder using the supplied BP-820 Battery Pack or the optional BP-828 Battery Pack.
Both battery packs are compatible with Intelligent System so you can check the approximate remaining battery
usage time (in minutes) on the screen. For more accurate readings, when using a battery pack for the first time,
charge it fully and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely depleted.
1 Connect the USB power adapter to the camcorder and plug the power cord into a power outlet.
2 Attach the battery pack to the camcorder.
3 Charging will start when the camcorder is turned off.
• The POWER/CHG (charge) indicator will illuminate in red while the battery is charging. If the POWER/CHG
indicator starts flashing, refer to Troubleshooting (A 130).
4 When the POWER/CHG indicator goes out, the battery is fully charged.
• Disconnect the USB power adapter from the camcorder and unplug the power cord.
