operate continuously for about 180 minutes. When a BP-
GL65 is used, the camcorder will operate continuously for
about 120 minutes.
Before use, charge the battery pack with a BC-M50/M150
Battery Charger. It takes about 145 minutes to charge one
BP-GL95.
For details, refer to the battery charger operation manual.

7-1-2 Avoiding Breaks in Operation
Due to an Exhausted Battery
If you use both an internal battery pack (attached to the
camcorder) and an external battery (connected to the DC
IN connector) at the same time, you can avoid breaks in
operation due to dead batteries.
When the external battery begins to fail and an
internal battery pack is also used
Remove the DC output cable from the DC IN connector.
The power source will switch to the internal battery pack.
