Notes on Using the Batteries

Charging and recording times

•These times vary — the safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as many battery packs as you think you will need.

•You will get more recording time if you turn the camcorder off between shots, instead of leaving it in record pause mode.

Additional Information

•You can use the battery pack between 0° and 40°C (32° to 104°F), but it works best between 10° and 30°C (50° to 86°F). Operating time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures like a ski ground. For better operating results, the battery pack can be warmed in your pocket or someplace and then used.

•If the battery pack starts to give you much less operating time than usual (at normal temperatures), it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.

Note:

•These figures show how long you can view playback with the LCD, after attaching a fully-charged battery pack. Playback time will be shortened at low temperatures.
