■ Checking the Remaining Battery Power
You can confirm the remaining charge in the
attached Battery in the Viewfinder or on the 'LCD
Monitor. This also shows you approximately how
much more continuous recording time you can get
from the attached Battery. The indicated time does
not change in 1-minute steps. The above
illustrations show how the Remaining Battery
Operation Time Indication changes according to
the remaining operation time.

Remaining Battery Power & Operation Time
Indication
This Indication shows the remaining duration of
continuous recording at an ambient temperature of
25°C when a fully charged Battery was attached.
Therefore, in the following cases, the actual
available recording time is different from the times
shown above:
When Recording Is Not Performed Continuously
In most cases, you will frequently start and stop
recording, turn the Movie Camera on and off, and
use the zoom and other functions, all of which
consume power. Therefore, the actual available
recording time from the Battery is approximately
30%-50% shorter than listed, {p. 9)
When the Ambient Temperature Is Extremely
Low or Extremely High
The characteristics of the Battery vary according
to the ambient temperature, and at a very low
temperature, the possible recording time becomes
extremely short.
In addition, the Remaining Battery Operation Time
Indication on the Movie Camera decreases a little
faster than at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
(At a higher temperature, it tends to decrease
more slowly.)
When the Service Life of the Battery Has
Reached Its End
When the operation time even after full charging is
too short for normal use, the service life of the
Battery has reached its end. (p. 74)
