Power supply
∫ About batteries that you can use with this unit
The battery that can be used with this unit is VW-VBK180/VW-VBK360.
≥ The unit has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The
dedicated battery (VW-VBK180/VW-VBK360) supports this function. The only
batteries suitable for use with this unit are genuine Panasonic products and
batteries manufactured by other companies and certified by Panasonic. (Batteries
which do not support this function cannot be used). Panasonic cannot in any way
guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries which have been
manufactured by other companies and are not genuine Panasonic products.
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the
genuine product are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of these
battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the
requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these
battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not liable
for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack.
To ensure that safe products are used we would recommend that a genuine
Panasonic battery pack is used.
Inserting/removing the battery
≥ Press the power button to turn off the unit. (l 25)
Install the battery by inserting it in the direction shown in the figure.
Removing the battery
Be sure to hold down the power button until
the status indicator goes off. Then remove
the battery while supporting the unit to

Charging the battery
When this unit is purchased, the battery is not charged. Charge the battery fully
before using this unit for the first time.
The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adaptor is connected. The primary circuit is
always “live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.
Important:
≥ Use the supplied AC adaptor. Do not use the AC adaptor of another device.
≥ Do not use the AC cable with any other equipment as it is designed only for this unit.
Also, do not use the AC cable from other equipment with this unit.
≥ The battery can also be charged using a battery charger (VW-BC10PP: optional).
≥ The battery will not be charged if the unit is turned on.
≥ It is recommended to charge the battery in a temperature between 10 °C and 30 °C
(50 °F and 86 °F). (The battery temperature should also be the same.)
A
DC input terminal
≥ Insert the plugs as far as they will go.
1 Connect the AC cable to the AC adaptor, then the AC outlet.
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the DC input terminal.
≥ Be careful not to pinch the DC input terminal cover.
≥ The status indicator will flash red at an interval of 2 seconds (approximately 1 second on,
1 second off), indicating that charging has begun.
It will turn off when the charging is completed.
∫ Connecting to the AC outlet
It is possible to use this unit with power supplied from the AC outlet by turning on the unit with
the AC adaptor connected.
When recording for a long time, keep the AC adaptor connected and use it together with the battery.
∫ To charge by connecting to other device
It is possible to charge by connecting to another device with the USB cable (supplied).
Please refer to page 134.
≥ If the status indicator flashes at a particularly fast or slow rate, refer to page 151.

∫ About recording formats when copying motion pictures
[High Definition]:
The scenes recorded in 1080/60p by this unit will be copied after converting to 1080/60i
picture quality.
≥ When copying scenes recorded in 1080/60p, select the recording picture quality ([HA]/
[HG]/[HX]/[HE]).
The scenes recorded in 1080/60i format will be copied as high definition picture quality
as recorded.
[Standard] ([XP]/[SP]):
Images are converted into the original standard picture quality and then copied.
≥ Since [XP] has a higher picture quality compared to [SP], the data capacity becomes
large so that you may need more discs for copying than [SP].
