Preparation
❍ 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 50 ˚F and 86 ˚F (10 ˚C and
30 ˚C). Outside the temperature range of 32 ˚F to 104 ˚F (0 ˚C to 40 ˚C), the CHARGE indicator
turns off, 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 power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
