The figures in the table above are guidelines 
for use in normal temperature conditions 
(temperature 25 °C, humidity 60%). Charging 
may take longer in higher or lower temperatures.
Charging may take longer if the battery has not 
been in use for a long period of time.
Given here are the approximate continuous 
recording times when recording using the 
viewfinder with no connections to any external 
devices and with the LCD monitor closed.
Available recording time may vary according to 
usage conditions.
Charging times are based on charging batteries 
from an empty state.
Remaining battery capacity displays
When using Panasonic-manufactured batteries 
compatible with this product, the remaining battery 
capacity is displayed in minutes.
 90min
Time remaining will be displayed after a brief 
pause.
The battery display will change
as battery capacity decreases. 
 will be 
displayed in red when less than 3 minutes are 
remaining, and 
 will flash when the battery 
is empty.
Remaining battery capacity may not be displayed 
correctly when using in high or low temperatures, 
or when the battery has not been used for a 
long period of time. To ensure that remaining 
battery capacity is displayed correctly, use the 
battery completely from a fully-charged state, 
and charge the battery again. (Remaining battery 
capacity may still not be displayed correctly if the 
battery has been used for long periods in high 
or low temperatures, or if the battery has been 
recharged a large number of times.)
 
The remaining battery capacity display is a 
guideline and may change according to usage 
conditions.
The remaining battery capacity display will 
momentarily disappear when switching between 
modes, when conducting REC CHECK 
operations or when changing the LCD brightness 
since the capacity is recalculated at these times.
Not displayed when using AC adapter.
Keep metal objects (such as necklaces and 
hairpins) away from the battery. 
Short-circuiting may occur across the 
terminals, causing the battery to heat up, 
and you may seriously burn yourself if you 
touch the battery in this state.
The battery becomes hot while it is being used 
or charged. The camera-recorder itself also 
becomes hot during use.
The recordable time reduces if you repeatedly 
start and stop recording.
The battery takes longer to charge when it is 
warm.
The AC adapter can interfere with radio 
reception so keep radios at least 1 meter away 
from it.
The AC adapter may make some noise when 
you are using it, but this is normal.
Battery cannot be recharged when the DC 
cord is connected to the AC adapter.
