•The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the

camera until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.

•Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A182) or the battery information screen (press the BATT. INFO button while the camera is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will give you a more accurate reading.
