❍ Charging, Recording and Playback Times
Below times are approximate and vary according to the charging, recording or
playback conditions.
* Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming,
power on/off. Actual time may be shorter.
❍ We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 ˚C and
30 ˚C. Outside the temperature range of 0 ˚C to 40 ˚C, the CHARGE indicator
flashes rapidly and charging stops.
❍ A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike
conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it
before charging.
❍ We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you
think you might need.
❍ To conserve battery charge, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in
record pause mode.
