The reference for how long the DVD video
camera/recorder can actually be used will
be approx. 1/2 to 1/3 of the above time:
The continuously recordable time of DVD video
camera/recorder in the left 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 actually recordable
time with a fully charged battery is between 1/2
and 1/3 of the above time, and prepare enough
batteries to allow for the time you are planning to
record on the DVD video camera/recorder.
The continuously recordable time may be less
depending on the conditions when the DVD video
camera/recorder is used (if recording and
recording pause are repeated at short intervals,
etc.).
Note that the battery discharges faster in cold
places.
The time taken for charging the
battery is 165 minutes at 77ºF
(25ºC).

Note
•
See page 172 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.
•
A battery cannot be charged while the DC power cord is
connected to the DC output jack of AC adapter/charger:
Unplug the DC power cord when charging a battery.
•
Charge the battery at ambient temperature 50°F to 86°F
(10°C to 30°C): Charging at temperatures other than this
range could damage the battery.
