Getting started with Sony HDR-CX160
Getting started with Sony HDR-CX160
My first camera without tape. Can I record by plugging the camcorder into an outlet without the battery to shoot indoors, or is the AC only used for charging? If I can shoot without the battery, will the video remain in the internal memory if I unplug it and then connect it to my computer by USB?

Yes, you can shoot with the cam plugged in. Your files will be safe when you unplug, with or without the batt.
But they recommend you have it plugged into AC power when transferring to PC. If it's only on batt and the batt dies during the transfer, your files may get corrupted.
