Notes on Using the Batteries
Charging and Recording Times
These times vary — the safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as many
battery packs as you think you will need.
You will get more recording time if you turn the camcorder off between
shots, instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and
104°F).
The charging time varies depending on the charging conditions.
You can use the battery pack between 0° and 40°C (32° to 104°F), but it
works best between 10° and 30°C (50° to 86°F). Operating time will be
shorter than usual at low temperatures like a ski ground. For better
operating results, the battery pack can be warmed in your pocket or
someplace and then used.
If the battery pack starts to give you much less operating time than usual
(at normal temperatures), it has reached the end of its life and must be
replaced.
These figures show how long you can view playback with the LCD, after
attaching a fully-charged battery pack. Playback time will be shortened at
low temperatures.
* Typical Recording Time: Approximate times for recording with repeated
operations such as start/stop, zooming and power on/off. The actual time
may be shorter.
