Powering Your Camcorder
Using the Battery to Power Your Camcorder
The battery must be charged as described on the next page before it can be used the
first time. Initial charging will take approximately 100 minutes. When fully charged,
the battery should supply about 75 minutes of operating time (depending on how much
you use the LCD monitor, zoom, and pause). Conserve battery power by turning the
camcorder off during recording breaks.
