• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using the compact power adapter so the
battery pack will not be consumed.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Safety Instructions and Handling Precautions
(A 129). For charging times and approximate usage times, refer to Reference Tables (A 139).
Checking the Remaining Battery Charge
With the camcorder turned off, press the BATT. INFO button to
display for about 5 seconds a screen showing the approximate
battery charge level. Note that if the battery charge is too low,
the battery information screen may not appear.
