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.

	Time needed for	Maximum recording time
	full recharge
		Using viewfinder	Using LCD screen
BP-512	1 hr. 10 min.	2 hr. 30 min.	2 hr.
BP-511 (optional)	1 hr. 10 min.	2 hr. 30 min.	2 hr.
BP-522 (optional)	2 hr.	5 hr. 10 min.	4 hr. 15 min.
BP-535 (optional)	2 hr. 50 min.	8 hr. 15 min.	6 hr. 45 min.

•Recording time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures. You can use the battery pack between 32° and 104°F (0° to 40°C), but it works best between 50° and 86°F (10° to 30°C).

•If the battery pack starts to give you much less recording time than usual, 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.
