ACharging time

BMaximum continuously recordable time C Actual recordable time

(The actual recordable time refers to the recordable time on tape when repeatedly starting/ stopping recording, turning the unit on/off, moving the zoom lever etc.)

“1 h 40 min” indicates 1 hour 40 minutes. The battery CGR-DU06 is supplied.

The charging time and recordable time shown in the table are approximations. 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 hours or more for continuous recording, 1 hour or more for actual recording).

≥The actual time may become shorter than this. The recordable time shown in the table 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, etc.

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

Along with the reduction of the battery capacity,

the display will change: # #
