• Above figures are based on a fully charged battery at a normal temperature. Low ambient temperature may affect the use time.

Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. Keep the camcorder turned off while not operating it.

Store the battery separately when finished charging or when not using it for a long time. This will help extend the life of the battery.

The battery is charged over 95% after about 2 hours, and the indicator colour changes to green. It takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes for the battery to charge 100%.

Charging time: Approximate time in minutes required to fully charge a completely exhausted battery.

Recording/Playback time: Approximate time available when you have fully charged the battery. ‘HD’ stands for high definition image quality and ‘SD’ stands for standard image quality.

The time is only for reference. Figures shown above are measured under Samsung’s test environment, and may differ according to user and condition.

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

We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC function.

Continuous Recording (without zoom)

The continuous recording time of the camcorder in the table shows the available recording time when the camcorder is in the recording mode without using any other function after recording starts. When actually recording, the battery pack may discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference, since the record start/stop and zoom functions are being operated, and playback is performed. Prepare additional charged battery pack(s) to allow for the time you are planning to record on the camcorder.

The charging time will vary depending on the remaining battery level.
