Charging the Battery Pack
• If the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature
is low, charging may take longer than usual.
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is
off.
•If the power supply was disconnected while charging a bat-
tery pack, make sure the POWER/CHG indicator has gone
out before restoring the power supply.
• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the cam-
corder using the compact power adapter so the battery pack
will not be consumed.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. There-
fore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to
ensure a full charge.
• Battery packs for this camcorder can display the remaining
battery time. The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge
it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is com-
pletely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining
recording time will be displayed accurately.
•For details about how to take care of the battery pack, refer to
Battery Pack (A 272). For charging times and approximate
usage times, refer to the Reference Tables (A 288).
• You can verify the battery charge status of the battery pack
with the 1 > q > [Battery Info] setting.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3
times longer than you think you might need.
