Without any extraordinary operation, such
as zooming:
The continuously DVD video camera/recorder re-
cordable time in the above table shows the time
available when the DVD video camera/recorder is
in the recording mode without using any other
function after recording is started. In actual record-
ing, the battery will discharge 2-3 times faster than
this reference, since the REC button and zoom are
being operated, and playback is performed. As-
sume that the recordable time with a fully charged
battery is between 40 and 60 minutes [with model
DZ-BP14(R)/DZ-BP16 (sold separately)] or be-
tween 70 and 100 minutes (with model DZ-BP28
(sold separately)), and prepare the type and
number of batteries to allow for the time you are
planning to record on the DVD video camera/re-
corder.
Note that the battery discharges faster in cold
places.
● The time taken for charging the
battery is as follows (at 25 °C)
DZ-BP14(R)/DZ-BP16
(sold separately)
170 min
DZ-BP28
(sold separately)
270 min
Note: During and after charging, the battery will
be warm, but this does not indicate a fault.
Note: If the following phenomena appear, the
battery may be dead: Replace it.
– Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the
CHARGE/ACCESS indicator does not light)
– The battery cannot be charged up to 75% if
more than 9 hours has elapsed after charging
started.
– The battery cannot be fully charged if more
than 5 hours has elapsed after it was charged
to 75%.
Note: Charge the battery at ambient tempera-
ture 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C): Charging at tem-
peratures other than this range could damage the
battery.

* The time in XTRA mode is only for reference: It
varies depending on recording contents (the
XTRA mode can be set on the DZ-MV230A only).
** LPCM mode can be set only when DVD-R disc
is used.
