Charging, Recording and Playback Time
Below times are approximate and vary according to the charging, recording or
playback conditions.
Charging Time
• Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 41º F and 104º F (5º C and 40º C).
• A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike conventional
battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it before charging.
Recording Time
* Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming, power
on/off. Actual time may be shorter.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you
might need.
• To conserve battery charge, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause
mode.
