The figures in the table above are guidelines for use in normal temperature conditions (temperature 25 °C (77 °F), humidity 60%). Charging may take longer in higher or lower temperatures.

Charging may take longer if the battery has not been in use for a long period of time.

Given here are the approximate continuous recording times when recording using the viewfinder with no connections to any external devices and with the LCD monitor closed.

Available recording time may vary according to usage conditions.

Charging times are based on charging batteries from an empty state.

Remaining battery capacity displays When using Panasonic-manufactured batteries compatible with this product, the remaining battery capacity is displayed in minutes.

90min

Time remaining will be displayed after a brief pause.

• The battery display will change

as battery capacity decreases. will be displayed in red when less than 3 minutes are

remaining, and will flash when the battery is empty.

• Remaining battery capacity may not be displayed correctly when using in high or low temperatures, or when the battery has not been used for a long period of time. To ensure that remaining battery capacity is displayed correctly, use the battery completely from a fully-charged state, and charge the battery again. (Remaining battery capacity may still not be displayed correctly if the battery has been used for long periods in high or low temperatures, or if the battery has been recharged a large number of times.)

• The remaining battery capacity display is a

 

guideline and may change according to usage

 

conditions.

 

• The remaining battery capacity display will

 

momentarily disappear when switching between

 

modes, when conducting REC CHECK

 

operations or when changing the LCD brightness

 

Description partsof

since the capacity is recalculated at these times.

 

• Not displayed when using AC adapter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep metal objects (such as necklaces and

 

 

hairpins) away from the battery.

Preparation

Short-circuiting may occur across the

 

terminals, causing the battery to heat up,

 

and you may seriously burn yourself if you

 

touch the battery in this state.

 

• The battery becomes hot while it is being used

 

or charged. The camera-recorder itself also

 

becomes hot during use.

 

• The recordable time reduces if you repeatedly

 

start and stop recording.

 

• The battery takes longer to charge when it is

 

warm.

 

• The AC adapter can interfere with radio

 

reception so keep radios at least 1 meter away

 

from it.

 

• The AC adapter may make some noise when

 

you are using it, but this is normal.

 

• Battery cannot be recharged when the DC

 

cord is connected to the AC adapter.
