Continuous Recording (without zoom):

The continuous recording time of DVD Video Camera in the left table shows the available recording time when the DVD Video Camera is in the recording mode without using any other function after recording is started. In actual recording, the battery pack will discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference since the REC button and zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. Assume that the recordable time with a fully charged battery pack is between 40 and 60 minutes [with model CGA-DU14A], and prepare the type and number of batteries to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD Video Camera.

Note that the battery pack discharges faster in cold places.

•The time taken for charging the battery pack is as follows

[at 77ºF (25 ºC)]

CGA-DU14A

165 min

Note:

•See page 158 when charging is not possible.

•The charge time will vary depending on the remaining battery level.

•During and after charging, the battery pack will be warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

•If the following phenomena appear, the battery pack may be dead: Replace it.

-Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the CHARGE indicator does not light).

-The battery pack cannot be charged up to 75% if more than 9 hours have elapsed after charging started.

-The battery pack cannot be fully charged if more than 5 hours have elapsed after it was charged to 75%.

•Charge the battery pack at ambient temperature 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C): Charging at temperatures other than this range could damage the battery pack.
