To use the battery pack effectively
Battery pack performance decreases when the

pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one
of the following to use the battery pack for a

playback, fast forward or reverse operation
wears out the battery pack faster.
Be sure to close the LCD screen when not

recording or playing back on your camcorder.
The battery pack is also consumed when your
camcorder is in recording standby or playback
pause.
Have spare battery packs ready for 2 or 3 times

the expected recording time, and make trial
recordings before making the actual recording.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The

battery pack is not water resistant.

however, that the battery indication will not be
restored if it is used in high temperatures for
a long time, or if left in a fully charged state,
