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 41°F and 104°F (5°C and
40°C).
The charging time varies depending on the charging conditions.
You can use the battery pack between 32° and 104°F (0° to 40°C), but it
works best between 50° and 86°F (10° to 30°C). 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.
