The figures in the table above are guidelines •
for use in normal temperature conditions
(temperature 25 °C (77 °F), humidity 60%).
Charging may take longer in higher or lower
temperatures.
Charging may take longer if the battery has not •
been in use for a long period of time.
Given here are the approximate continuous •
recording times when recording using the
viewfinder with no connections to any external
devices and with the LCD monitor closed.
Available recording time may vary according to •
usage conditions.
Charging times are based on charging batteries •
from an empty state.
Remaining battery capacity displays
■
When using Panasonic-manufactured batteries
compatible with this product, the remaining battery
capacity is displayed in minutes.
90min
Time remaining will be displayed after a brief
Description of parts (continued)
pause.
The battery display will change •
→ → → →
as battery capacity decreases. will be
displayed in red when less than 3 minutes are
remaining, and
will flash when the battery
is empty.
Remaining battery capacity may not be displayed •
correctly when using in high or low temperatures,
or when the battery has not been used for a
long period of time. To ensure that remaining
battery capacity is displayed correctly, use the
battery completely from a fully-charged state,
and charge the battery again. (Remaining battery
capacity may still not be displayed correctly if the
battery has been used for long periods in high
or low temperatures, or if the battery has been
recharged a large number of times.)
The remaining battery capacity display is a •
guideline and may change according to usage
conditions.
The remaining battery capacity display will •
momentarily disappear when switching between
modes, when conducting REC CHECK
operations or when changing the LCD brightness
since the capacity is recalculated at these times.
Not displayed when using AC adaptor.•
Keep metal objects (such as necklaces and •
hairpins) away from the battery.
Short-circuiting may occur across the
terminals, causing the battery to heat up,
and you may seriously burn yourself if you
touch the battery in this state.
The battery becomes hot while it is being used •
or charged. The camera-recorder itself also
becomes hot during use.
The recordable time reduces if you repeatedly •
start and stop recording.
The battery takes longer to charge when it is •
warm.
The AC adaptor can interfere with radio •
reception so keep radios at least 1 meter away
from it.
The AC adaptor may make some noise when •
you are using it, but this is normal.
Battery cannot be recharged when the DC •
cord is connected to the AC adaptor.
