Setup
≥ The recordable time will become shorter in the following case:
jWhen you use this unit with the LCD monitor lit up by pressing the POWER LCD EXTRA button.
≥ The batteries heat up after use or charging. This unit will also heat up while being used. This is not a
malfunction.
≥ Be aware that the operating time of the battery will become shorter in low temperatures. We
recommend charging a spare battery for use when recording.
ª About the remaining battery capacity indication
The remaining battery capacity is displayed in minutes when using the
Panasonic battery that you can use for this unit. It may take time to
display the remaining battery capacity.
≥ The display changes as the battery capacity reduces.
If there are less than 3 minutes, then
will flash.
≥ The remaining battery capacity may not be displayed correctly where the temperature is low or high
or if the battery was not used for a long period of time.
To correctly display the remaining battery capacity, recharge the battery, discharge it and then charge
it again. (Even if this operation is performed, it may not be possible to display the remaining battery
capacity correctly if the battery was used for a long period of time where the temperature is low or
high or if the battery was repeatedly charged.)
≥ The maximum amount of remaining battery capacity able to be indicated is 999 minutes. If the actual
remaining time exceeds 999 minutes, the indication will stay green and will not change until the
remaining time falls below 999 minutes.
≥ The time displayed is a approximation of the remaining time your battery will provide useful power.
The actual time can vary depending on your actual use.
≥ When turning the mode dial to switch modes, the time indication will turn off in order to recalculate the
remaining battery capacity time.
≥ When using the AC adaptor or batteries made by other companies, the remaining battery capacity will
not be shown.
