Battery Pack
Efficient Use of the Battery
• The battery will slightly discharge even if it is detached from the camcorder.
• If the battery is left attached to the camcorder, it will consume a slight amount
of power. Therefore, it is recommended that you charge the battery a day
before using the camcorder.
When you intend not to use the camcorder for an extended period
of time
It is recommended that you fully charge the battery at least once every six months, attach
it to the camcorder, turn it on and fully deplete the battery charge, then remove the
battery and store it in a cool place.
Battery life
The battery life varies greatly depending on the ambient environment and how
often the camcorder is used. If the usable time of the camcorder with a fully
charged battery is noticeably short, the battery should be replaced. Purchase a
new one.
Power Save function
To save power, do not leave the camcorder in record pause mode for too long.
Even during record pause, battery power is consumed at about the same level as
during recording.
By turning the power save function On, the camcorder will automatically turn off
if left idle for approximately five minutes in record pause mode. For power save
function, see "How to use the LCD setup and initial setup" (p.60).
