Setup

≥The recordable times will vary depending on

the status of use. These times are

approximations.

The recordable time will become shorter in the

following cases:

– When you use both the viewfinder and the

LCD monitor simultaneously while rotating

the LCD monitor frontward to record yourself,

using the 0 Lux MagicPix function, etc.

– When you use this unit with the LCD monitor

lit up by pressing the POWER LCD button.

≥The batteries heat up after use or charging.

This unit will also heat up while being used.

This is not a malfunction.

≥Be aware that the operating time of the battery

will become shorter in low temperatures. We

recommend charging a spare battery for use

when recording.

ªAbout the remaining battery

capacity indication

The remaining battery capacity is displayed in

minutes when using the Panasonic battery that

you can use for this unit. It may take time to

display the remaining battery capacity.

≥The display changes as the battery capacity

reduces.

####.

If there is less than 3 minutes remaining, then

will become red. If the battery

discharges, then will flash.

≥The remaining battery capacity may not be

displayed correctly where the temperature is

low or high or if the battery was not used for a

long period of time.

To correctly display the remaining battery

capacity, recharge the battery, discharge it and

then charge it again. (Even if this operation is

performed, it may not be possible to display the

remaining battery capacity correctly if the

battery was used for a long period of time

where the temperature is low or high or if the

battery was repeatedly charged.)

≥The maximum amount of remaining battery

capacity able to be indicated is 240 minutes. If

the actual remaining time exceeds

240 minutes, the indication will stay green and

will not change until the remaining time falls

below 240 minutes.

≥Depending on the conditions of use, the time

displayed on the remaining battery capacity

indication will change so use it as an

approximation.

≥When turning the mode dial to switch modes,

the time indication will turn off in order to

recalculate the remaining battery capacity time.

≥When using batteries made by other

companies the remaining battery capacity will

not be shown.
