Operating Time with Battery Pack
When the VF-P116W is used as the viewfinder and a fully
charged battery pack is attached, the approximate continuous
operating time is as follows:
Battery Pack Continuous Operating Time (at 25 ˚C)
NP-1B 60 minutes
Magnum 14 130 minutes
NP-L40 80 minutes
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK
● When the battery pack is not in use, it must be stored in a
cool, dry place.
Do not leave the battery pack in a place where it might be
subject to a high temperature (under direct sunlight in a car,
etc.), this could cause leakage of the fluid or shorten service
life.
● When the terminal section of the battery pack gets dirty, the
operating time will be shortened.
● If the operating time becomes greatly reduced even
immediately after recharging, the service life of the battery
pack is nearly finished. Purchase a new battery pack.
E-38
To display the remaining battery power accurately, set the
VCR Setup Menu item No. 396 BATTERY TYPE according
to the type of the battery pack in use.
See page 22.
The status of the remaining battery power can be checked by
the remaining battery power indication.
See page 72.
When the remaining battery power is nearly exhausted, the
following warning messages will appear. In this case, replace
with a fully charged battery as soon as possible.
● Remaining battery power indication:
Segment bar and "BATT" indicator start to blink
● WARNING indicator and TALLY lamp blink
● Viewfinder:
• BATT lamp and TALLY lamp blink
• "LOW BATTERY" character indication (Status 0 or Status
1 mode)
● Alarm sound beeps
After the remaining battery power warnings appear, the
GY-DV700W automatically stops operation if the battery
power operation is continued.
● Battery operating time may differ depending on the number
of times the battery has been charged, charging conditions
and the operating environment, etc. Use the values in the
table on the left for approximate reference times.
● Operating time is reduced in areas with a cold environment.
● Operating time is reduced when the power zoom lens is used
frequently.
Recharging
● Recharge the battery pack after completely discharging it.
Repeated recharging with residual charge remaining could
result in reduced battery capacity.
● If the battery capacity is reduced by repeating incomplete
recharging, or recharging without discharging, once discharge
the battery pack completely, then recharge it to restore the
battery capacity.
● If the battery pack is recharged with its internal temperature
raised immediately after use, recharging may not be
performed completely.

1.
Turn the POWER switch to ON.
The power is then supplied to the unit.
• Video image is output to the viewfinder.
• The display of the VCR section is turned on.
2.
Select the GY-DV700W operation mode with the VTR switch.
• The GY-DV700W operation mode may differ when the power is turned ON and when the cassette is loaded depending on the
setting of the VTR switch as follows:
VTR switch setting
GY-DV700W enters the SAVE mode (tape protect mode) and stops the drum motor. "SAVE"
SAVE is displayed in the VCR operation indicating section of the Status 1 mode screen in the
viewfinder. In this mode, the tape is effectively protected.
In this condition, press the VTR trigger button to start recording. However, it takes longer for
the operation to take place from this condition than from the STBY mode.
When a recordable videocassette is loaded, the GY-DV700W enters the record-pause mode
STBY automatically. (The drum motor is still rotating.)
"STBY" is displayed on the Status 1 screen in the viewfinder.
In this condition, pressing the VTR trigger button starts recording immediately.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 5 seconds before turning the power ON again once it has been turned OFF.
When the power is turned OFF, the unit automatically enters the tape protect mode. It takes approximately 5 seconds to enter
the tape protect mode. Do not turn the power ON again within this interval.
