Charging time and recordable time
The times shown in the table below show the
times at a temperature of 68oF (25oC) and a
humidity of 60%. This is just a guide. If the
temperature is higher or lower than the specified
value, the charging time will become longer.
ACharging time
BMaximum continuously recordable time
“1h. 10 min.” indicates 1 hour 10 minutes.
≥The battery CGR-DU06 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.
≥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.
