ACharging time

BMaximum continuously recordable time “1h. 10 min.” indicates 1 hour 10 minutes. The battery CGA-DU12 is supplied.

The times shown in the table are rough estimates. The times indicate the recordable time when the viewfinder is used. The times in parentheses indicate the recordable time when the LCD monitor is used.

We recommend the Battery Pack CGA-DU12 and CGA-DU21 for long recording time (2 hour or more for continuous recording, 1 hour or more for intermittent recording).

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, 0 Lux MagicPix function, etc.

When you use this Camcorder with the LCD monitor lit up by pressing the [POWER LCD] button.

When you use accessories fitted on the Camcorder’s smart accessory shoe such as the stereo zoom microphone and video DC light, etc..

The batteries heat up after use or charging. The Camcorder being used will also heat up. This is normal.

Along with the reduction of the battery capacity, the display will change: r# s# t# u# v. If the battery discharges, then u(v) will flash.
