ACharging time

BMaximum continuously recordable time C Actual recordable time

(The actual recordable time refers to the recordable time on a tape when repeatedly starting/stopping recording, turning the unit on/off, moving the zoom lever, etc.)

“1 h 40 min” indicates 1 hour 40 minutes.

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 VW-VBG130, VW-VBG260 and VW-VBG6 for long time recording (2 hours or more for continuous recording, 1 hour or more for actual recording).

The actual time may become shorter than this. The recordable time shown in the table are approximations. 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 etc.

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: # #

# # . If the battery

discharges, then ( ) will flash.
