    Notes min appears in the display window

    until the camcorder calculates remainingbattery time.

    Remaining battery time indication in the

    display window roughly indicates therecording time with the viewfinder. Use it as aguide. It may differ from the actual recordingtime.

    If there is a slight difference in shape betweenthe plug of mains lead and the terminal of ACpower adaptor, it is ignorable for their mutualconnection and power supply.

    Be sure to plug the mains lead deeply into theterminal of AC power adaptor so that it isfirmly locked. If there is a gap between the plugof mains lead and the terminal of AC poweradaptor, it does not affect the efficiency of theAC power adaptor.
