Checking the Remaining Battery Pack Charge | Sanyo VPC-CA65GX

CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY PACK CHARGE

When using the battery pack, the remaining battery pack charge can be checked on the monitor. Make sure to check this indicator before recording. For an indication of the possible length of time for battery pack operation, see page 180.

1 Display the RECORDING MENU or PLAYBACK MENU (pages 61 and 85).

hThe battery pack remaining charge indicator appears in the lower right

corner of the monitor.

hDue to the battery pack characteristics, when the ambient

temperature is low, may appear early for an incorrect indication of the remaining charge. Also, depending on the conditions of use of the camera or the ambient conditions (temperature, etc.), the indicated remaining charge may change. Therefore, this indication can only be used as a general approximation of the remaining charge.
