When an AC adapter is connected, the AC adapter has priority even when a battery pack is attached.

For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and AC adaptors listed below.

Lithium-ion battery packs

BP-U30 (supplied)

BP-U60

BP-U60T

BP-U90

AC adapters/chargers

BC-U1A (supplied)

BC-U2A

WARNING

Do not store battery packs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, flame, or high temperature.

Note

•When operating from a power outlet, use the supplied AC adapter.

Using a battery pack

To attach a battery pack, plug the battery pack into the attachment (page 9) as far as it will go, and then slide it down to lock it into position.

To remove a battery pack, press and hold the BATT RELEASE button (page 9), slide the battery pack up and then pull it out of the attachment.

Notes

•Before use, charge the battery pack with the BC-U1A (supplied) or BC-U2A Charger.

•Charging a battery immediately after use while it is still warm may not fully recharge the battery.

•The high-capacity BP-U90 Battery Pack is large, and protrudes from the camcorder when attached. The BPU90 is convenient when using the camcorder attached to a tripod for extended recording periods.

Checking the remaining capacity

When recording or playback is in progress on the battery pack, an icon to show the current battery charge level and usage time remaining are displayed on the LCD/viewfinder screen

(page 12).

The camcorder 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 battery pack charge becomes low

If the remaining battery charge falls below a certain level during operation (Low Battery state), a low-battery message appears, the recording/tally lamp starts flashing, and a beep sound will warn you.

If the remaining battery charge falls below the level at which operation cannot continue (Battery Empty state), a battery-empty message appears. Replace with a charged battery pack.

Changing the warning levels

The Low Battery level is set to 10% of full battery charge and the Battery Empty level is set to 3% by factory default. You can change the warning level settings using Battery Alarm (page 116) in the System menu.

Setting the Clock

When you turn the camcorder on for the first time after purchasing or the backup battery has completely discharged, the initial setting display appears on the viewfinder screen and LCD screen.

•A UTF-8 format name that is actually registered

as the clip name

When you specify a clip name in planning metadata, the name is displayed under the operation status indication on the viewfinder screen.

Example of clip name strings

Use a text editor to modify the description for the planning metadata <Title> tag.

The shaded fields in the example are clip name strings.

“Typhoon” is described in ASCII format (up to 44 characters). “Typhoon_Strikes” is described in UTF-8 format (up to 44 bytes).

“sp” indicates a space and 3 indicates a carriage return.

<?xmlspversion=»1.0″spencoding=» UTF-8″?>3 <PlanningMetadataspxmlns=»http:// xmlns.sony.net/pro/metadata/ planningmetadata» spassignId=» P0001″ spcreationDate=» 2011-08-20T17:00:00+09:00″sp lastUpdate=» 2011-09-28T10:30:00+09:00″sp version=»1.00″>3

<TitlespusAscii=» Typhoon «sp

xml:lang=»en»> Typhoon_Strikes </Title>3

</Properties>3 </PlanningMetadata>3

Notes

•When you create a file, enter each statement as a single line by breaking a line with a carriage return only after the last character of the line, and do not enter spaces except where specified with “sp.”

•A string of up to 44 bytes (or 44 characters) is valid as a clip name.

If the UTF-8 format string exceeds 44 bytes, the first 44 bytes are used as the clip name.

If only a string in ASCII format is specified, the ASCII format name up to the 44th character is used as the clip name.

When neither the ASCII format name string nor UTF- 8-format name string is valid, a clip name in the standard format is used.

Using a clip name defined in planning metadata

Load a planning metadata file that contains the clip name into the memory of the camcorder, then select Clip Naming (page 105) >Auto Naming >Plan in the Media menu.

Clip names are generated by adding an underscore (_) and a 5-digit serial number (00001 to 99999).

Example: Typhoon_Strikes_00001,

Typhoon_Strikes_00002, …

Notes

•If the serial number reaches 99999, it returns to 00001 upon the next recording.

•When you load another planning metadata file, the 5-digit serial number returns to 00001.
