  • Use of battery packs other than the Rechargeable Battery Pack NP-FV70 or NP-FV100 is not supported.
  • 5-level battery power icon display only (no "minutes remaining" display).
  • The battery level display built into battery chargers such as the BC-TRV, AC-VQH10 and AC-VQV10 may not function, or may display inaccurate battery level information, when charging batteries that have been used in the NEX-VG10E.
  • As with all lithium ion batteries, operating time may be significantly reduced at lower temperatures.
  • No zoom control on NEX-VG10E; zoom ring on lens must be rotated manually.
  • When using A-mount lenses (optional Mount Adaptor LA-EA1 required), autofocusing is disabled. In addition, other performance limitations may apply to some lenses.
