• Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.
• Each battery's life is affected by storage, operating and environmental conditions.
* Times measured when using the camcorder at 25°C (77°F).As the environmental
temperature and conditions vary, the actual battery time may differ form the approximate
times given in the table.
* The recording and playback time will be shorter depending on the conditions under which
you use your camcorder. In actual recording, the battery may discharge 2-3 times faster
than this reference, since the Record start/stop and Zoom are being operated, and playback
is performed. Assume that the recordable time with a fully charged battery is between
1/2 and 1/3 of the time in the table, so have enough batterys to allow for the time you are
planning to record on the camcorder.
* The recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low
temperatures.
The charging (CHG) indicator blinks during charging, or battery Info will not be correctly
displayed under the following conditions:
The battery is not attached correctly.
The battery is damaged.
The battery is worn-out. (For the battery information only)
| Using an AC power source
It is recommended that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household
AC outlet when you perform settings on it, play back, or edit images, or use it indoors. Make the
same connections as you do when charging the battery. _-,page 17
• Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC power adaptor. Disconnect the AC power adaptor
from the wall outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder.
• Do not use the AC power adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and
furniture.
• Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC power adaptor or battery terminals with any metallic
objects. This may cause a malfunction.
• Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power is still supplied to it while connected to the wall
outlet via the AC power adaptor.
