Use the battery completely before re-chargingl

completely. Repeated charging while some capacity remains causes a lowering of battery
capacity. However, the original battery capacity can be recovered if you use the battery
completely and charge it fully again.
To use up the battery, remove the cassette and turn the POWER switch to CAMERA with
the battery pack attached, and leave the camcorder until the cV indicator flashes and the red
lamp flashes rapidly in the viewfinder.
