Can I record while my camera is plugged into a socket and not directly using it's battery?
I have a sony handycam DCR-SR45 and the manual said something like, "Do not apply shock to the camera while it's on." I'm not completely sure what that's supposed to mean. Does it mean that while it's plugged in, I'm not supposed to switch it on? Can I only use battery power to operate my camera?
The "shock" referred to in the manual is not "electrical shock", but hard shaking or dropping type "shock". The Sony DCR-SR45 is a hard disc drive based camcorder. The hard disc does not like to be shaken, dropped, be in a loud audio/vibration or other similar environments... like the hard drive in your computer, there are spinning platters in the hard drive case. Data is read and written from/to the platters by way of the hard drive heads. The heads are on a delicate armature that moves very quickly across the platters to read/write the data. When shaken, dropped, in a loud audio/vibration or other similar environment, it is possible that the heads will touch the platter surface and cause a hard drive crash.
When the camera is powered off, the armature (along with the heads), park in a safe position. When the camera is on, it is assumed you want to capture video, so the hard drive platters will be spinning and the armature (and the heads) will be ready to fly across the platters to write information coming in through the camera lens.
