•The chart specifies the approximate times in minutes.
Notes:
•Charge the battery pack between 10°C and 30°C. The battery pack may not charge properly at temperatures too low or too high.
•The battery pack and AC adapter become warm during charging. This is not a malfunction.
•Using the zoom (see page 21) and other functions or turning the power on and off frequently will increase power consump- tion. This may result in a decrease 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 tempera- ture and the condition of the battery pack.
•See pages 72 and 73 for more information on using the battery pack.
•Charge only SHARP model
•When attaching the supplied audio/video/S- video cable, remove the DC plug, open the terminal cover and connect it.
