Preparing Your camcorder I
Have a sufficient battery pack power to
perform 2 or 3 times as much recording
than you have planned.
"Battery life" as indicated in the instruction
manual or catalogue of the camcorder is
measured by the continuous recording time of
the camcorder, placed at a room temperature
using a full-chargea battery.
Turn the STANDBY switch of the
camcorder off when not recording to save
battery power.
A smooth recording can be made even if
recording is stopped and started again.
While positioning the subject, selecting an
angle, or looking through the viewfinder, the
lens moves automatically and the battery is
used. The battery is also used when a tape is
inserted or removed.
Battery life is shorter in a cold climate.
Battery efficiency is decreased and the
battery will be used up more quickly.
When the __\3mark in the viewfinder
changes from slow blinking to rapid
blinking while you are recording,
Turn off the power switch of the camcorder
and replace the battery pack. Leave the tape
in the camcorder in order to obtain a smooth
recording after the b_ttery pack is replaced.
