Operating Time with Battery Pack

When the VF-P115B is used as the viewfinder and a fully charged battery pack is attached, the approximate continuous operating time is as follows:

Battery Pack	Continuous Operating Time (at 25 ˚C)
NP-1B	60 minutes
(SONY)
Magnum 14	130 minutes
(Anton-Bauer)
NP-L50	100 minutes
(NP-1B Type)
(IDX)

●Battery operating time may differ depending on the age of the battery, charging conditions and the operating environment, etc. Use the values in the table on the left for approximate reference times.

●Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment.

●Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens and LCD are used frequently.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK

●When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a cool, dry place.

Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car, etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service life.

●When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the operating time will be shortened.

●If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.

Recharging

●Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it. Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could result in reduced battery capacity.

●If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the battery capacity.

●If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature raised immediately after use, recharging may not be performed completely.
