Checking the Remaining Battery Charge
Solution
When the camcorder is turned on, you can check the remaining battery charge by looking at any recording/playback screen or the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen
. When the camcorder is turned off, use one of the following methods to check the approximate remaining battery charge.Press the CHECK button on the battery pack. An indicator will light for approximately 3 seconds and show the approximate remaining battery charge.
Press the BATT. INFO button to display the remaining battery time and available recording time (displays for 5 seconds). Depending on the battery life, the battery information may not be displayed.
NOTES
• The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
• Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen
or the battery information screen (press the BATT. INFO button while the camcorder is turned off). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will give you a more accurate reading.•
