•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 23) 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 94 and 95 for more information on using the battery pack.

•Charge only SHARP model BT-L226 battery packs. Other types of battery packs may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
