Notes on Using the Batteries

Charging and Recording Times
E
• These times vary — the safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as many battery packs as you
think you will need.
• You will get more recording time if you turn the camcorder off between shots, instead of leaving
it in record pause mode.
• The charging time varies depending on the charging conditions.

* Typical Recording Time: Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as
start/stop, zooming and power on/off. The actual time may be shorter.
• You can use the battery pack between 32°and 104° F (0°to 40° C ), but it works best between
50°and 86° F (10°to 30° C ). Operating time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures like a
ski ground. For better operating results, the battery pack can be warmed in your pocket or
someplace and then used.
• If the battery pack starts to give you much less operating time than usual (at normal
temperatures), it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.
Note:
• These figures show how long you can view playback with the LCD, after attaching a fully-
charged battery pack. Playback time will be shortened at low temperatures.
