• If camcorder has not been used for some time, charge the

 

battery using the REFRESH feature on the adapter/charger.

 

• 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 60 minutes of

 

recording time. In practical use, you may not be able to

 

record for the full time because the camera uses battery

 

current when it is waiting between recordings (record-pause

 

mode) and while you focus and zoom.
