Recordable time with fully charged
battery (with no zoom operation,
etc.)
The reference for DVD video camera/recorder
recordable time with fully charged battery is
between 40 and 60 minutes:
For DZ-MV350E
For DZ-MV380E
* The XTRA mode can be set only when a DVD-RAM disc
is used. The time is only for reference: It will vary
depending on recording contents.
Without any extraordinary operation, such
as zooming:
The continuously recordable time of DVD video
camera/recorder 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
recording, the battery will discharge 2-3 times
faster than this reference, since the REC button and
zoom are being operated, and playback is
performed. Assume that the recordable time with a
fully charged battery is between 40 and 60 minutes,
and prepare the type and number of batteries to
allow for the time you are planning to record on the
DVD video camera/recorder.
Note that the battery discharges faster in cold
places.
The time taken for charging the
battery is 165 minutes at 25ºC
Note:
See page 154 when charging is not possible.
The charge time will vary depending on the battery
remaining level.
During and after charging, the battery will be warm, but
this does not indicate a fault.
If the following phenomena appear, the battery may be
dead: Replace it.
- Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the
CHARGE 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%.
Charge the battery at ambient temperature 10ºC to 30ºC:
Charging at temperatures other than this range could
damage the battery.
