Preparation
Power Supply
You can use a battery pack or AC power supply from an AC adapter.
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).
Icon |
Remaining capacity |
100% to 91% |

|
70% to 51% |
|
50% to 31% |
|
30% to 11% |
|
10% to 0% |
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.

Using Memory Cards
This camcorder records audio and video on memory cards (sold separately) inserted in the memory card slots.
About memory cards
Supported memory cards
The following memory cards are supported.
For details about recording media and compatible formats, see page 127.
SDXC memory cards (Class 10)
•A memory card removed from the camcorder after recording ended may be hot. This is not a malfunction.
Switching between memory cards
When memory cards are loaded in both card slots A and B, you can switch the card used for recording by pressing the SLOT SELECT button
(page 10).
If a card becomes full during recording, the camcorder automatically switches to the other card.
Note
•The SLOT SELECT button is disabled during playback. The memory cards are not switched even if you press the button. The button is enabled while the thumbnail screen (page 69) is displayed.
Inserting memory cards
1 Open the cover of the card slot block.
2 Insert the memory card with the label facing to the right.
The access lamp (page 10) lights in red, then changes to green once the memory card is ready for use.
3 Close the cover.
Note
•The memory card, memory card slot, and image data on the memory card may be damaged if the card is forced into the slot in the incorrect orientation.
Removing a memory card
1 Open the cover of the card slot block, and lightly press the memory card in.
The memory card pops out. During recording, this will stop the recording.
2 Remove the memory card.
Notes
•If the camcorder is turned off or the memory card is removed while the memory card is being accessed, the integrity of data on the card cannot be guaranteed. All data recorded on the card may be discarded. Always make sure the access indicator is green or off before turning off the camcorder or removing the memory card.
Formatting (initializing) a memory card
Memory cards must be formatted the first time they are used in the camcorder.
Memory cards for use in the camcorder should be formatted using the format function of the camcorder.
If a message appears when the memory card is inserted into the camcorder, format the memory card.
If a memory card that was formatted in a format unsupported by this camcorder is inserted, the message “Unsupported File System” is displayed on the LCD/viewfinder screen.
Format the media as described below.
To execute formatting
Using Format Media (page 104) in the Media menu, specify Media(A) (slot A) or Media(B) (slot B), then select Execute.
A message is displayed while formatting is in progress, and the access indicator is lit red. When formatting ends, a completion message appears.
Note
•Formatting a memory card erases all data on the card, including protected video. The data cannot be restored.
To use media formatted on the camcorder in the slot of another device
Make a backup of the media, then format it using the other device.
24
Checking the remaining recording time
While recording (or standing by to record), you can check the remaining space for the memory cards loaded in the card slots on the A/B slot media status/remaining space display of the LCD/ viewfinder screen (page 12).
The remaining recording time is calculated from the remaining capacity of the media in each slot and the current video format (recording bit rate), and is displayed in units of minutes.
Note
•A icon appears if the memory card is writeprotected.
Replacing a memory card
•If the available time on two cards in total becomes less than 5 minutes, the warning message “Media Near Full” is displayed, the recording/tally lamp flashes, and a beep sound is output to the headphones to warn you. Replace with media that has free space.
•If you continue recording until the total remaining time reaches zero, the message changes to “Media Full,” and recording stops.
Note
•Up to approximately 600 clips can be recorded on one memory card.
If the number of recorded clips reaches the limit, an indication that the maximum number of clips has been reached is displayed.
Restoring a memory card
If for any reason an error should occur in a memory card, the card must be restored before use.
When you load a memory card that needs to be restored, a message appears on the LCD/ viewfinder screen to ask whether you want to restore it.
Restoring a card
Select Execute using the V/v/B/b button or
SEL/SET dial, and press the SET button or SEL/SET dial.
A message and progress status (%) are displayed while formatting is in progress, and the access lamp is lit red.
When restoration ends, a completion message appears.
If restoration fails
•Write protected memory cards and cards on which memory errors have occurred cannot be restored. A warning message appears for such cards. Follow the instructions in the message and unprotect the card or replace it with another card.
•Memory cards on which memory errors have occurred may become usable if they are reformatted.
•In some cases, some clips can be restored while others cannot. The restored clips can be played normally.

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.

The file name extension is “.mp4”.
The timecode is also recorded simultaneously.
Storage destination of the recorded file
The recorded file is stored under the “/PRIVATE/ PXROOT/Clip” directory.
About the file name
The file name consists of the clip name recorded on the memory cards in the memory card slots and a consecutive number suffix.
In 2-slot Simul Rec mode, the clip name of slot A has precedence.
•The consecutive number is kept even if the camcorder is turned off. The consecutive number returns to 0001 by executing All Reset.
For details about clip names, see Clip Naming (page 105) in the Media menu.
Recording proxy data only
You can record proxy data independently to an SD card in the UTILITY SD/MS slot without recording to a memory card in a memory card slot.
The recording format of the proxy data is the same as for simultaneous recording. However, the file name is derived from the timecode at the recording start time.
47
Example: If the timecode at the recording start time is “14:30:20:05” then the file name becomes “14_30_20_05.mp4”.
