Q u i c k S t a r t G u d e i 13 Getting started Using this manual The instructions in this manual are for the two models listed in the table below. Before you start reading this manual and operating your camcorder, check the model number by looking at the bottom of your camcorder. The DCR-IP55 is the model used for illustration purposes. Otherwise, the model name is indicated in the illustrations. Any differences in operation are clearly indicated in the text, for example, DCR-IP55 only. As you read through this manual, buttons and settings on your camcorder are shown in capital letters. e.g. Set the POWER switch to CAMERA. When you carry out an operation, you can hear a beep to indicate that the operation is being carried out. Types of differences DCR-
MODE positions on the POWER switch Network function z Provided Not provided Note on the MICROMV format IP45 IP55 CAMERA MEMORY MEMORY/NETWORK CAMERA VCR VCR z Your camcorder is based on the MICROMV format. You can only use MICROMV cassettes with your camcorder. Records and plays back for about 60 minutes with equal quality when compared to DV (digital video). The Micro Cassette Memory feature is provided with all MICROMV cassettes. The camcorder can access any scene easily using the memory (Multi-picture search function). Adopts the MPEG2 format as a data compression method. This format is the same as the one for DVD (digital video disc). Note on TV color systems TV color systems differ from country to country. To view your recordings on a TV set, you need a NTSC system-based TV. Copyright precautions Television programmes, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provision of the copyright laws. 14 Precautions on camcorder care Lens and LCD screen/finder The LCD screen and the finder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen and the finder. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way. Do not let your camcorder get wet. Keep your camcorder away from rain and sea water. Letting your camcorder get wet may cause your camcorder to malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired [a]. Never leave your camcorder exposed to temperatures above 60 C (140 F), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight [b]. Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors. Exposing the LCD screen, the finder or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions [c]. Do not directly shoot the sun. Doing so might cause your camcorder to malfunction. Take pictures of the sun in low light conditions such as dusk [d].

(1) While sliding , in the direction of the arrow, lift BATT (battery) RELEASE to release the battery terminal cover.
(2) Insert the battery pack in the direction of the arrow until it clicks. 1 2 To remove the battery pack The battery pack is removed in the same way as the battery terminal cover. Note on the battery terminal cover To protect the battery terminals, install the battery terminal cover after the battery pack is removed. G e t t i n g s t a r t e d 17 Step 1 Preparing the power supply Charging the battery pack Charge the battery pack before using your camcorder. Your camcorder operates only with the InfoLITHIUM battery pack (F series). See page XX for details of the InfoLITHIUM battery pack.
(1) Open the DC IN jack cover and connect the supplied AC power adapter to the DC IN jack on your camcorder with the plugs v mark facing up.
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC power adapter.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(4) Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG). The CHG lamp lights up when the charge begins. After charging is completed, the CHG lamp goes off (full charge). 2 3 To a wall outlet CHG lamp 1 4

Note Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC plug of the AC power adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC power adaptor. 18 Step 1 Preparing the power supply While charging the battery pack, the CHG lamp flashes in the following cases:
The battery pack is not installed correctly. Something is wrong with the battery pack. When you use the AC power adaptor Place the AC power adaptor near the wall outlet. If any trouble occurs with this unit, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet as soon as possible to cut off the power. Charging time Battery pack NP-FF50 (supplied) NP-FF70 Full charge 120 150 Approximate minutes at 25C (77F) to charge an empty battery pack The charging time may increase if the batterys temperature is extremely high or low because of the ambient temperature.

The battery life will be shorter if you use your camcorder in a cold environment. If the power goes off although the battery remaining indicator indicates that the battery pack has enough power to operate Charge the battery pack fully again so that the indication on the battery remaining indicator is correct. Recommended charging temperature We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 C to 30 C (50 F to 86 F). What is InfoLITHIUM?
The InfoLITHIUM is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data such as battery consumption with compatible electronic equipment. This unit is compatible with the InfoLITHIUM battery pack (F series). Your camcorder operates only with the InfoLITHIUM battery. InfoLITHIUM F series battery packs have the mark. InfoLITHIUM is a trademark of Sony Corporation. Connecting to a wall outlet When you use your camcorder for a long time, we recommend that you power it from a wall outlet using the AC power adaptor.
(1) Open the DC IN jack cover and connect the supplied AC power adaptor to the DC IN jack on your camcorder with the plugs v mark facing up.
(2) Connect the power cord to the AC power adaptor.
(3) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet. 1 2,3 To a wall outlet 20 Step 1 Preparing the power supply PRECAUTION The camcorder is not disconnected from the AC power source (house current) as long as it is connected to a wall outlet, even if the camcorder itself has been turned off. Notes The AC power adaptor can supply power even if the battery pack is attached to your camcorder. The DC IN jack has source priority. This means that the battery pack cannot supply any power if the power cord is connected to the DC IN jack, even when the power cord is not plugged into a wall outlet. Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC plug of the AC power adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC power adaptor. G e t t i n g s t a r t e d 21 Step 2 Setting the date and time Set the date and time when you use your camcorder for the first time. CLOCK SET will be displayed each time you set the POWER switch to CAMERA or MEMORY/
