Power Your Camcorder

Rechargeable Battery

The battery must be charged as described on the next page before it can be used the first time. Initial charging takes approximately 70 minutes. When fully charged, the battery supplies approximately 80-90 minutes of operating time – depending on how much you use the monitor, zoom, and pause. Conserve battery power by turning the camcorder off during recording breaks.

Note: Use the small marker switch on the top of the battery to help remind yourself to charge the battery. It has no other purpose.
