Hitachi DZMV100A instruction manual Attach the battery to the AC adapter/charger, DZ-BP16

Setting Up the Battery

3.Attach the battery to the AC adapter/charger.

Orient the terminal section of battery toward the DC OUT of AC adapter/charger, and while fitting the battery onto the charger, slide it in the direction of the arrow.

The CHG. indicator on AC adapter/charger will blink, and charging will start. (If charge remains on the battery, the 80% indicator may light.)

Blinking of the CHG. indicator will change to a steady light after charging has started. When the battery has been fully charged, the 100% indicator will light.

Continuously recordable time on camcorder with fully charged battery

The reference for DVD camcorder recordable time with fully charged battery is be- tween 40 and 60 minutes (with model DZ-BP16) or between 70 and 100 minutes (with model DZ-BP28):

	DZ-BP16	DZ-BP28 (sold separately)
When using viewfinder	approx. 105 minutes	approx. 180 minutes
(in FINE mode)
When using LCD monitor	approx. 90 minutes	approx. 150 minutes
(in FINE mode)
When using viewfinder	approx. 125 minutes	approx. 215 minutes
(in STND mode)
When using LCD monitor	approx. 105 minutes	approx. 180 minutes
(in STND mode)

Without any extraordinary operation, such as zooming:

The continuously DVD camcorder recordable time in the above table shows the time available when the DVD camcorder 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 recordable time with a fully charged battery is between 40 and 60 minutes (with model DZ-BP16) or between 70 and 100 minutes (with model DZ-BP28), and prepare the type and number of batteries to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD camcorder.

Note that the battery discharges faster in cold places.

The time taken for charging the battery is as follows (at normal temperature):

DZ-BP16

approx. 90 minutes

DZ-BP28 (sold separately)

approx. 170 minutes
