BMaximum continuous recordable time “1 h 10 min” indicates 1 hour 10 minutes. ≥The battery
estimates. The times indicate the recordable time when the viewfinder is used. The times in parentheses indicate the recordable time when the LCD monitor is used.
≥We recommend the Battery Pack
≥The recordable time will become shorter in the following cases:
