Tips for using batteries
This section shows you how you can get the most out of your batteries.
Have sufficient battery power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have planned.
Battery life is shorter in a cold environmentYou cannot use size AA (LR6) batteries in a cold environment. Use the battery pack NP- F10.
Battery efficiency is decreased, and the battery pack will be used up more quickly, if you are recording in a cold environment.
To save battery powerTurn off the camcorder when not recording to save battery power.
A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped and started again. While you are positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking on the LCD screen, the battery is used.
When to replace the batteryWhile you are using your camcorder, the remaining battery indicator decreases gradually as battery power is used up. When you use the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack, remaining time in minutes appears.
When the remaining battery indicator reaches the lowest point, the i indicator may appear and start flashing on the LCD screen.
When the i indicator changes from slow flashing to rapid flashing while you are recording, turn off the camcorder replace the battery pack or size AA (LR6) batteries. Leave the video cartridge in the camcorder to obtain a smooth transition between scenes after the battery pack has been replaced.
