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:

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.
