About the battery

The battery used in the Camcorder is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the effect of temperature increases with increasing or decreasing temperature. In the low temperature range, the fully charged indication may not appear, or the low battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high temperature, moreover, the protection function may work, disabling use of the Camcorder.

If the battery is left attached to the Camcorder, a minute amount of current is consumed even

when the Camcorder power is [OFF]. If the battery is left attached to the Camcorder for a long time, over-discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable after it is charged.
