Please refer to the table on page 25 for approximate continuous recording time.

The recording time is affected by environmental temperature and conditions. The recording time becomes very short in a cold environment.

The continuous recording time in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77°F(25°C). As the environmental temperature and conditions may differ when you actually use the camcorder, the remaining battery time may not be the same as the approximate continuous recording time given in these instructions.

Tips for Battery Identification

A charge mark is provided on the battery pack to help you remember whether it has been charged or not.

Two colors are provided (red and grey)-you may choose which one indicates charged and which indicates discharged.

Note

The charge mark setting does not affect the battery's charge status.
