*Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming, power on/off. Actual time may be shorter.
❍We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 ˚C and 30 ˚C. Outside the temperature range of 0 ˚C to 40 ˚C, the CHARGE indicator turns off, and charging stops.
❍A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it before charging.
❍We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
❍To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
