*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.

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.
