The camcorder indicates the remaining usage time in minutes by calculating the available time with the battery pack if operation is continued at the current rate of power consumption.

Note

The operating time on a battery pack depends on the condition (new or old) of the battery pack and the ambient temperature.

To check in power-off status

Information on the mounted battery pack (BATTERY INFO) is displayed in the viewfinder when you hold the DISPLAY/BATT INFO button pressed even if the camcorder is off.

The BATTERY INFO display goes off after 5 seconds.

If the battery charge remaining becomes low

If the battery charge remaining decreases to a certain level during operation (Low BATT status), a low-battery message, flashing of the tally lamps, and a beep sound will warn you. If the remaining further decreases to a level at which operation cannot be continued (BATT Empty status), a battery-empty message appears. Temporarily set the power switch to OFF and connect a power source via the DC IN connector or replace the battery pack with one that is fully charged.

To change the message levels

The Low BATT level is set to 10% of full charge, and the BATT Empty level is set to 3% of full charge at the factory. These settings can be changed with “Battery Alarm” (page 129) of the OTHERS menu.
