About the running time

•The recording times in the table on the previous page were measured when using the camcorder at 25˚C (77˚F). As the environmental temperature and conditions vary, the actual battery time may differ form the approximate times given in the table.

•The recording and playback time may be shorter depending on the conditions under which you use your camcorder. For example, in actual recording, the battery may discharge 2 to 3 times faster than listed if you use Record start/stop and Zoom frequently, and use playback to view your recordings. Assume that the recordable time with a fully charged battery is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the time in the table, so you have enough charged battery packs to allow for the time you are planning to record on the camcorder.

•The recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low temperatures.

On the battery pack

•The CHG (charging) lamp blinks during charging. However, the battery pack will not display Battery Info correctly under the following conditions:

-The battery pack is not inserted correctly.

-The battery pack is damaged.

-The battery pack is worn-out. (For the battery information only)

Using an AC power source

We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household AC outlet when you change settings, play back or edit images, or use it indoors. To power the camcorder from an AC outlet, you make the same connections you make when charging the battery pack. page 25

On the AC Adaptor

•Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC Adaptor. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder.

•Do not place the AC Adaptor in a confined space when you use it, such as between a wall and a piece of furniture.

•Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC Adaptor or battery terminals with any metallic objects. This may cause a malfunction.

•Even if your camcorder is turned off, the AC adaptor continues to supply AC power to the camcorder as long as it's plugged in.
