Actual recordable time
Approx. 1 h 15 min Approx. 40 min
Actual recordable time includes recording and stopping, turning the unit ON/
OFF, zooming and other operations.
Recordable time varies according to conditions of use. For example, the
recordable time shortens when the [POWER LCD] setting is on while recording.
The recordable time shortens in some environments (i.e., low temperatures,
etc.), therefore it is recommended to charge a spare battery.
Remaining battery capacity indication
The battery indication changes, as the remaining battery power decreases.

It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the genuine
product are available to purchase in some markets. Some of these battery packs are
not adequately protected to meet the requirements of appropriate safety standards.
These battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not
liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery
pack. To ensure that safe products are used we would recommend that a genuine
