About the "InfoLITHIUM"
battery pack
What is the "InfoLITHIUM" battery
pack?
The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack is a lithium-ion
battery pack that has functions for
communicating information related to operating
conditions between your camcorder and an AC
adaptor/charger (optional).
The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack calculates the
power consumption according to the operating
conditions of your camcorder, and displays the
remaining battery time in minutes.
Charging the battery pack
•Be sure to charge the battery pack before you
start using your camcorder.
•We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between
10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) until the backlight of
the display window goes out, indicating that
the battery pack is fully charged. If you charge
the battery outside of this temperature range,
you may not be able to efficiently charge the
battery pack.
•After charging is completed, either disconnect
the cable from the DC IN jack on your
camcorder or remove the battery pack.
Effective use of the battery pack
•Battery pack performance decreases in low-
temperature surroundings. So, the time that the
battery pack can be used is shorter in cold
places. We recommend the following to ensure
longer battery pack use:
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up,
and insert it in your camcorder immediately
before you start taking shots.
– Use the large-capacity battery pack (NP-
FM70/QM71/FM90/FM91/QM91, optional).
•Frequently using the LCD panel or frequently
operating playback, fast-forward or rewind
wears out the battery pack faster. We
recommend using the large-capacity battery
pack (NP-FM70/QM71/FM90/FM91/QM91,
optional).
•Be sure to turn the POWER switch to OFF
(CHG) when not taking shots or playing back
on your camcorder. The battery pack is also
consumed when your camcorder is in the
standby mode or playback is paused.
