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