Notes on Using the Batteries

Charging and recording times
E
• These times may vary.
• You will get more recording time if you turn the
camera off between shots, instead of leaving it in
record pause mode.
• Recording time will be shorter than usual at low
temperatures. 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).
• If the battery pack starts to give you much less
recording time than usual, it has reached the end
of its life and must be replaced.
How much power is left?
The indicator in the display shows you
approximately how much charge the battery pack
has left:
Notes:
• "CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK" appears in
the display for 4 seconds when the power is
completely exhausted. The empty battery mark
then appears and starts to flash. The power
indicator light also flashes.
• The indicator is not constant — different levels
will be shown when you subject the battery pack
and camcorder to different conditions.
When to recharge
You can recharge a lithium ion battery pack whenever it is convenient. However, as the battery pack will
naturally discharge itself over time, it is best to charge it the same day you plan to use it, or the day before.
