Notes on charging the battery pack

•The CHARGE lamp will remain lit for a while even if the battery pack is removed and

•If the CHARGE lamp does not light, disconnect the power cord. After about one

minute, reconnect the power cord again.

•When operating the digital camcorder using the AC power adapter, you cannot

charge the battery pack.

•When a fully charged battery pack is installed, the CHARGE lamp will light once,

then go out.

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

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

2)Approximate minutes when recording while you repeat recording start/stop,

zooming and turning the power on/off. The actual battery life may be shorter.
