Without any extraordinary operation, such
as zooming:
The continuously recordable time of DVD video
camera/recorder in the above table shows the time
available when the DVD video camera/recorder is
in the recording mode without using any other
function after recording is started. In actual
recording, the battery will discharge 2-3 times
faster than this reference, since the REC button and
zoom are being operated, and playback is
performed. Assume that the recordable time with a
fully charged battery is between 40 and 60 minutes,
and prepare the number of batteries to allow for the
time you are planning to record on the DVD video
camera/recorder.
Note that the battery discharges faster in cold
places.
The time taken for charging the
battery is 165 minutes at 25ºC
:
Note
•
See page 154 when charging is not possible.
•
The charge time will vary depending on the battery
remaining level.
•
During and after charging, the battery will be warm, but
this does not indicate a fault.
•
If the following phenomena appear, the battery may be
dead: Replace it.
- Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the
CHARGE indicator does not light).
- The battery cannot be charged up to 75% if more than
9 hours has elapsed after charging started.
- The battery cannot be fully charged if more than 5 hours
has elapsed after it was charged to 75%.
•
Charge the battery at ambient temperature 10°C to 30°C:
Charging at temperatures other than this range could
damage the battery.
