About Batteries

Recording time is reduced significantly under the following conditions:

• Zoom or Record-Standby mode is engaged repeatedly.

• The LCD monitor is used repeatedly.

• The playback mode is engaged repeatedly.

Before extended use, it is recommended that you prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the planned shooting time.

ATTENTION:

Before detaching the power source, make sure that the camcorder’s power is turned off. Failure to do so can result in a camcorder malfunction.

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
