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.
