Models CC6251 and CC6271: Black spots or bright spots
of light (red, green, or blue) may appear. These spots are
not recorded on the tape and are not due to a defect.
If battery has not been used for some time, completely drain
the battery’s power and recharge it.
Battery run times are measured when the camcorder is
recording continuously. You can check your battery by first
fully charging it and then aiming the camcorder at a clock
and recording the picture of the clock. When the recording
stops, play the last recorded section and note the clock time.
A one-hour battery should give you about 60 minutes of
recording time. In practical use, you might not be able to
record for the full time because the camera uses battery
power when it is waiting between recordings (record-pause)
and zooming.
