Rechargeable battery | • If battery has not been used for some time, |
runs down sooner | completely drain the battery’s power and then |
than expected | recharge it. |
| • Battery run times are measured when the camcorder |
| is recording continuously. You can check your |
| battery by first fully charging it and then aiming the |
| camcorder at a clock and recording the picture of the |
| clock. When the recording stops, play the last |
| recorded section and note the clock time. A |
| battery should give you about 50 minutes of |
| recording time using the LCD monitor. In practical |
| use, you may not be able to record for the full time |
| because the camera uses battery power when it is |
| waiting between recordings |
| zooming. |
