Maximum recording time
Using LCD screen
Using viewfinder
* The BP-911K Battery Pack is supplied and the other BP-900 series Battery Packs are optional.
• Continuous recording time will be reduced to approx. 50% with continuous use of the video
light.
• When you use the optional CH-910 Dual Battery Charger/Holder with 2 battery packs attached,
maximum recording time will be almost doubled.
For example, when you attach 2 BP-945 battery packs, the ES8600 can record up to 12.5
hours continuously (using viewfinder).
• 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 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). At
locations with extremely low temperatures such as ski resorts, a warning display might
sometimes appear for about five minutes after starting use.
• 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.
