sooner than |

|
expected | • Battery run times are measured when the camcorder is | ||
|
| recording continuously. To check your battery; charge it | |
|
| completely, aim the camcorder at a clock, and record the | |
|
| clock. When the camcorder stops recording, play the last | |
|
| part of the tape and check the time on the clock. A one- | |
|
| hour battery should give you about 60 minutes of |
|
|
| recording time. In practical use, a fully charged battery | |
|
| might not record for 60 minutes because the battery uses | |
|
| power when you pause the recording and uses extra power | |
|
| when you zoom. |

|
|
| custom settings. Wait for at least one |
|
|
| minute after resetting the camcorder to |
|
|
| attach a power supply. |
