Continuous Recording (without zoom):
The continuous recording time of DVD Video Camera in
the left table shows the available recording time when the
DVD Video Camera 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 Video Camera.
Note that the battery pack discharges faster in cold
places.
lThe time taken for charging the
battery pack is as follows
[at 77ºF (25 ºC)]

Note
•
See page 158 when charging is not possible.
•
The charge time will vary depending on the remaining
battery 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 have elapsed after charging started.
- The battery pack cannot be fully charged if more than
5 hours have 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.
