Charging time and recordable time
The times shown in the tables below are for when the temperature is 25 oC and the humidity is 60%. If the temperature is higher or lower than 25 oC, the charging time will become longer.

(The intermittent recordable time refers to recordable time when the recording and stopping operations are repeated.)
“1 h 10 min” indicates 1 hour 10 minutes. ≥The battery
≥The charging time and recordable time shown in the table are approximations. The times indicate the recordable times when the viewfinder is used. The times in parentheses indicate the recordable times when the LCD monitor is used.
≥We recommend the Battery Pack
≥The recordable time will become shorter in the following cases:
≥When you use both the viewfinder and the LCD monitor simultaneously while rotating the LCD monitor frontward to record yourself, using the 0 Lux colour night view function, etc.
≥When you use this camera with the LCD monitor lit up by pressing the [POWER LCD] button.
≥The batteries heat up after use or charging. The main unit of the movie camera being used will also heat up. This is normal.
≥Along with the reduction of the battery capacity,
the display will change:
