Continuous Recording (without zoom):
The continuously recordable time of DVD
Palmcorder in the left table shows the time
available when the DVD Palmcorder is in the
recording mode without using any other function
after recording is started. In actual recording, the
battery pack will discharge 2-3 times faster than
this reference, since the REC button and zoom are
being operated, and playback is performed.
Assume that the recordable time with a fully
charged battery pack is between 40 and 60 minutes
[with model CGA-DU14A], and prepare the type
and number of batteries to allow for the time you
are planning to record on the DVD Palmcorder.
Note that the battery pack discharges faster in cold
places.
●The time taken for charging the
battery pack is as follows
[at 77ºF (25 ºC)]

Note Note
•
See page 157 when charging is not possible.
•
The charge time will vary depending on the battery
remaining level.
•
During and after charging, the battery pack will be warm,
but this does not indicate a fault.
•
If the following phenomena appear, the battery pack
may be dead: Replace it.
- Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the
CHARGE indicator does not light).
- The battery pack cannot be charged up to 75% if more
than 9 hours has elapsed after charging started.
- The battery pack cannot be fully charged if more than
5 hours has elapsed after it was charged to 75%.
•
Charge the battery pack at ambient temperature 50°F to
86°F (10°C to 30°C): Charging at temperatures other
than this range could damage the battery pack.
