*Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming, power on/off. Actual time may be shorter.
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). Outside the temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), the CHARGE indicator flashes rapidly and charging stops.
A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it before charging.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
