Numbers in parentheses indicate the time when you use a normally charged battery.

Battery life will be shorter if you use the camcorder in a cold environment.

*Approximate continuous recording time at 25°C (77°F).

**Approximate minutes when recording while you repeat recording start/stop, zooming and turning the power on/off. The actual battery life may be shorter.

Notes on remaining battery time indication during recording

Remaining battery time is displayed in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. However, the indication may not be displayed properly, depending on using conditions and circumstances.

When you close the LCD panel and open it again, it takes about 1 minute for the correct remaining time to be displayed.

To remove the battery pack

Slide the battery pack in the direction of the arrow.

Notes on charging the battery pack

The CHARGE lamp will remain lit for a while even if the battery pack is removed and the power cord is unplugged after charging the battery pack. This is normal.

If the CHARGE lamp does not light, disconnect the power cord. After about one minute, reconnect the power cord again.

You cannot charge the battery pack while the DK-415 connecting cord is connected to the AC power adaptor.

When a fully charged battery pack is installed, the CHARGE lamp will light once, then go out.
