* 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 degrees C and 30 degrees C (50 F and 86 F). Outside the temperature range of 0 degrees C to 40 degrees C (32 F to 104 F), 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 power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
