About the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack

This unit is compatible with an 
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (P series).
Your camcorder operates only with an 
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack.
“InfoLITHIUM” P series battery packs 
have the 

 mark.

An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a 
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions 
for communicating information related 
to operating conditions between your 
camcorder and an optional AC Adaptor/
charger (optional).
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack 
calculates the power consumption 
according to the operating conditions of 
your camcorder, and displays the remaining 
battery time in minutes.

•

  Be sure to charge the battery pack before you 

start using your camcorder.

•

  It is recommended that you charge the battery 

pack in an ambient temperature of between 
10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) until CHG 
(Charge) lamp turns off. If you charge the 
battery pack outside of this temperature range, 
you may not be able to charge the battery pack 
efficiently.

•

  After charging is complete, either disconnect 

the cable from the DC IN jack on your 
camcorder or remove the battery pack.

•

  Battery pack performance decreases when the 

surrounding temperature is 10°C (50°F) or 
below, and the length of time you can use the 
battery pack becomes shorter. In that case, do 
one of the following to use the battery pack for 
a longer time.
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up, 

and insert it in your camcorder right before 
you start taking shots.

– Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FP70

  Frequent use of the LCD screen or a frequent 

playback, fast forward or reverse operation 
wears out the battery pack faster. It is 
recommended that you use a large capacity 
battery pack: NP-FP70

  Be sure to slide the POWER switch up to 

OFF (CHG) when not shooting or playing 
back on your camcorder. The battery pack is 
also consumed when your camcorder is in the 
standby mode or playback is paused.

•

  Have spare battery packs ready for two or three 

times the expected recording time, and make 
trial recordings on a DVD-RW/DVD+RW 
(optional) before making the actual recording.

•

  Do not expose the battery pack to water. The 

battery pack is not water-resistant.

•

  If the power goes off even though the remaining 

battery time indicator indicates that the battery 
pack has enough power to operate, charge the 
battery pack fully again so that the indication 
on the remaining battery time indicator is 
correct. Note, however, that the correct battery 
indication sometimes will not be restored if 
the battery is used in high temperatures for a 
long time or left in a fully charged state, or 
the battery pack is used frequently. Regard 
the remaining battery time indication as the 
approximate shooting time.

•

  The 

 mark indicating that there is little 

remaining battery time sometimes flashes 
depending on the operating conditions or 
ambient temperature and environment even if 
the remaining battery time is approximately 20 
minutes.
