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

The reference for DVD video camera/recorder recordable time with fully charged battery is between 20 and 30 minutes (with model DZ-BP7S) or between 40 and 60 minutes [with model DZ- BP14S (sold separately)]:

*1 The time in XTRA mode is only for reference: It varies depending on recording contents.

*2 LPCM mode can be set only when DVD-R disc is used.

Without any extraordinary operation, such as zooming:

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 recordable time with a fully charged battery is between 20 and 30 minutes (with model DZ-BP7S) or between 40 and 60 minutes [with model DZ-BP14S (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/recorder.

Note that the battery discharges faster in cold places.

●The time taken for charging the battery is as follows [at 77ºF (25 ºC)]

Note:

•See page 156 when charging is not possible.

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

•During and after charging, the battery will be warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

•If the following phenomena appear, the battery may be dead: Replace it.

-Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the CHARGE 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%.

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