Before Using
Using the Battery
• We recommend using a Panasonic Battery.
• We cannot guarantee the quality of this Camcorder
when batteries from other companies are used.
1 Attach the Battery to the AC Adaptor and
charge it.
2 Put the Battery on the Battery Mount by
aligning the mark, and then securely plug it
in.
Before use, fully charge the Battery.
• Since the Battery will not be charged when
the DC Cable is connected to the AC Adaptor,
disconnect it from the AC Adaptor.
• The [CHARGE] Lamp lights up, and charging
starts.
• When the [CHARGE] Lamp goes off, charging is
completed.
• When the battery is completely discharged, the
[CHARGE] Lamp blinks at first, but the battery is
charged normally. When the temperature of the
battery is too high or low, the [CHARGE] Lamp
blinks and the charging time becomes longer
than usual.
3 Attach the charged Battery to the
Camcorder.
• For other notes concerning this item, see page 52.

to [OFF], and while
sliding the [BATTERY RELEASE] Switch

[OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] and make sure the
[POWER] Lamp is not lit.

Charging Time and Available
Recording Time

• “1 h 40 min.” indicates 1 hour and 40 minutes.
• Battery CGR-DU06 is supplied.
• The times shown in the table are approximate times.
The numbers indicate the recording time when the
Viewfinder is used. The numbers in parentheses
indicate the recording time when the LCD Monitor is
used. In actual use, the available recording time may
be shorter.
• The times shown in the table are for continuous
recording at a temperature of 25 °C (68 °F) and
humidity of 60 %. If the Battery is charged at a
higher or lower temperature, the charging time may
be longer.
• We recommend the Battery Pack CGA-DU12 and
CGA-DU21 for long time recording (2 hours or
more for continuous recording, 1 hour or more for
intermittent recording.)
• The available recording time becomes shorter
if you use both of Viewfinder and LCD Monitor
simultaneously when rotating the LCD Monitor
forward to record yourself.
• The batteries heat up after use or charging. The
Camcorder being used will also heat up. This is
normal.
