Hitachi DZ-HS500A With DZ-BP07PW provided/DZ-BP7SW optional, With DZ-BP14SW optional

●Continuously recordable time with fully charged battery (with no zoom operation, etc.)

See the following table as a reference for how long the DVD video camera/recorder can continuously be used with a fully charged battery:

With DZ-BP07PW (provided)/DZ-BP7SW (optional)

Video mode		Continuous use time
		HDD	DVD
XTRA	When using viewfinder	approx. 100 min	approx. 85 min
	When using LCD monitor	approx. 90 min	approx. 75 min
FINE	When using viewfinder	approx. 100 min	approx. 85 min
	When using LCD monitor	approx. 90 min	approx. 75 min
STD	When using viewfinder	approx. 100 min	approx. 100 min
	When using LCD monitor	approx. 90 min	approx. 85 min
With DZ-BP14SW (optional)

Video mode		Continuous use time
		HDD	DVD
XTRA	When using viewfinder	approx. 200 min	approx. 170 min
	When using LCD monitor	approx. 180 min	approx. 150 min
FINE	When using viewfinder	approx. 200 min	approx. 170 min
	When using LCD monitor	approx. 180 min	approx. 150 min
STD	When using viewfinder	approx. 200 min	approx. 210 min
	When using LCD monitor	approx. 180 min	approx. 170 min

•The time is only for reference: It will vary depending on recording contents.

The reference for how long the DVD video camera/recorder can actually be used will be approx. 1/2 to 1/3 of the above time:

The continuously recordable time of DVD video camera/recorder in the above table shows the time available when the DVD video camera/recorder is in the recording mode without using any other function after recording is started. In actual recording, the battery will discharge 2 – 3 times faster than this reference, since the REC button and zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. Assume that the actually recordable time with a fully charged battery is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the above time, and prepare enough batteries to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD video camera/recorder.

The continuously recordable time may be less depending on the conditions when the DVD video camera/recorder is used (if recording and recording pause are repeated at short intervals, etc.).

Note that the battery discharges faster in cold places.

Note:

•See “Troubleshooting” on page 145 when charging is not possible.

•The charge time will vary depending on the battery remaining level.

•During and after charging, and when the DVD video camera/recorder is being used, the battery will be warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

•A battery cannot be charged while the DC power cord is connected to the DC output jack of AC adapter/charger: Unplug the DC power cord when charging a battery.

•Charge the battery at ambient temperature 50ºF to 86ºF (10ºC to 30ºC): Charging at temperatures other than this range could damage the battery.
