recharge it.

 

• Battery run times are measured when the camcorder

 

is recording continuously. You can check your

 

battery by first fully charging it and then aiming the

 

camcorder at a clock and recording the picture of the

 

clock. When the recording stops, play the last

 

recorded section and note the clock time. A one-hour

 

battery should give you about 50 minutes of

 

recording time using the LCD monitor. In practical

 

use, you may not be able to record for the full time

 

because the camera uses battery power when it is

 

waiting between recordings (record-pause) and

 

zooming.
