Notes on Using the Batteries

E

Charging and recording times

These times vary — the safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as many battery packs as you think you will need.

You will get more recording time if you turn the camcorder off between shots, instead of leaving it in record pause mode.

Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F).

The charging time varies depending on the charging conditions.

*Typical Recording Time: Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming and power on/off. The actual time may be shorter.

You can use the battery pack between 0° and 40°C (32° to 104°F), but it works best between 10° and 30°C (50° to 86°F). Operating time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures like a ski ground. For better operating results, the battery pack can be warmed in your pocket or someplace and then used.

If the battery pack starts to give you much less operating time than usual (at normal temperatures), it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.

These figures show how long you can view playback with the LCD, after attaching a fully-charged battery pack. Playback time will be shortened at low temperatures.
