Continuously recordable time with fully charged battery (with no zoom 
operation, etc.)
See the following table as a reference for how long the DVD video camera/recorder can 
continuously be used with a fully charged battery:
With DZ-BP14S (provided)/DZ-BP14SJ (optional)
With DZ-BP21SJ (optional)
• The time is only for reference: It will vary depending on recording contents.
The reference for how long the DVD video camera/recorder can actually be used 
will be approx. 1/2 to 1/3 of the above time:
The continuously recordable time of DVD video camera/recorder in the above table shows the time 
available when the DVD video camera/recorder is in the recording mode without using any other 
function after recording is started. In actual recording, the battery will discharge 2 – 3 times faster 
than this reference, since the REC button and zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. 
Assume that the actually recordable time with a fully charged battery is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the 
above time, and prepare enough batteries to allow for the time you are planning to record on the 
DVD video camera/recorder.
The continuously recordable time may be less depending on the conditions when the DVD video 
camera/recorder is used (if recording and recording pause are repeated at short intervals, etc.).
Note that the battery discharges faster in cold places.
Note
:
• During and after charging, and when the DVD video camera/recorder is being used, the battery will be warm, but 
this does not indicate a fault.
