Without any extraordinary operation, such as zooming:

The continuously DVD video camera/recorder re- cordable time 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 record- ing, the battery will discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference, since the REC button and zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. As- sume that the recordable time with a fully charged battery is between 40 and 60 minutes [with model DZ-BP14(R)/DZ-BP16 (sold separately)] or be- tween 70 and 100 minutes (with model DZ-BP28 (sold separately)), and prepare the type and number of batteries to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD video camera/re- corder.

Note that the battery discharges faster in cold places.

●The time taken for charging the battery is as follows (at 25 °C)

Note: During and after charging, the battery will be warm, but this does not indicate a fault. Note: If the following phenomena appear, the battery may be dead: Replace it.

–Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the CHARGE/ACCESS indicator does not light)

–The battery cannot be charged up to 75% if more than 9 hours has elapsed after charging started.

–The battery cannot be fully charged if more than 5 hours has elapsed after it was charged

to 75%.

Note: Charge the battery at ambient tempera-

ture 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C): Charging at tem- peratures other than this range could damage the battery.
