The chart specifies the approximate times in minutes.

Notes:

Using the zoom (see page 19) and other functions or turning the power on and off frequently will increase power consumption. This may result in a decrease of more than 50% in the actual recording time compared to the maximum continuous recording time listed above.

The charging time and recording time may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the condition of the battery pack.

It is recommended that you have enough battery packs on hand to provide two to three times your estimated recording time.

See page 58 for more information on using the battery pack.

Caution:

Charge only SHARP model BT-H22 or BT-H32 battery packs. Other types of battery packs may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
