lost in the glare. The DCC function will suppress the
high intensity and restore much of the lost detail. It
is particularly effective for shooting in the following
cases.

conditions.
Examples:
 When a single color dominates the subject, such as
sky, sea, ground, or flowers.
 When the subject is under a light source of extremely
high or extremely low color temperature.
If execution of automatic tracing by the ATW
function takes an unacceptably long time
or only results in an inadequate effect, then
execute the AWB function.

Preparing a Power Supply
2. Preparation
For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and
AC adaptors listed below.
 BP-GL95B Lithium-ion Battery Pack
[CAUTION]
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
When you dispose of the battery, you must obey the law
in the relative area or country.
Using a Battery Pack
Press the battery pack against the back of the
camcorder, aligning the line on the side of the
battery pack with the line on the camcorder.
Then slide the battery pack down until its
“LOCK” arrow aligns with the line on the
camcorder.
To detach the battery pack, pull the battery
pack up by holding the release button in.
[Notes]
 If the battery pack is not attached correctly, the
terminals may become damaged.
 During recording and playback (while the ACCESS
lamp on the right-side panel is lit in blue and the
ACCESS lamp in the card slot section is lit in orange),
be careful never to remove the battery pack.
Doing so may corrupt the data recorded on the card.
 Make sure to power the camcorder off before
replacing the battery pack.
When a BP-GL95B Battery Pack is used, the
camcorder will operate continuously for
approximately 110 minutes.
[WARNING]
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
[Note]
The battery pack operating time depends on the
frequency of use of the battery pack, and the ambient
temperature when used.
Before use, charge the battery pack with a
charger suitable for each battery.
For details on the battery charging procedure, refer to the
battery charger operation manual.
Note on using the battery pack
A warm battery pack may not be able to be
fully recharged.
Using AC Power
Mount an AC-DN10A on the camcorder in the
same way as a battery pack, then connect to
the AC power supply.
