ª

Push the battery against the battery holder and slide it until it 
clicks.

ª

While pushing the [PUSH] button, slide the battery to remove it.

≥Hold the battery with your hand so it does not fall.

The times shown in the table below show the times at a 
temperature of 25

oC (77 oF) and a humidity of 60%. This is just 

a guide. If the temperature is higher or lower than the specified 
value, the charging time will become longer.

A Charging time
B Maximum continuously recordable time
C Intermittent recordable time

(The intermittent recordable time refers to recordable time 
when the recording and stopping operations are repeated.) 
“1h 30 min” indicates 1 hour 30 minutes.
≥The times shown in the table are rough estimates. The times 

indicate the recordable times when the viewfinder is used. 
The times in parentheses indicate the recordable times when 
the LCD monitor is used.

≥The recordable time will become shorter in the following 

cases:

≥When you use both the viewfinder and the LCD monitor 

simultaneously while rotating the LCD monitor frontward to 
record yourself, using the 0 lux night view function, etc.

≥When you use this camera with the LCD monitor lit up by 

pressing the [POWER LCD] button.

≥The batteries heat up after use or charging. The main unit of 

the camera-recorder being used will also heat up. This is 
normal.

≥Along with the reduction of the battery capacity, the display 

will change:

≥Do not bring metal objects (such as necklaces or 

≥The battery heats up during operation and during 

charging, as does the camera recorder body.

≥If recording and stop operations are repeated more than 

is necessary, the recording time will be less than the 
values given in the above table.

≥Store the battery only when it is fully discharged. It is 

recommended that the battery be charged once a year 
when it is being stored long-term and that it be placed 
back in storage after it has been fully discharged using 
the camera recorder.

≥When the temperature of the battery unit has risen to an 

extremely high level or dropped to an extremely low 
level or when the battery is not used for prolonged 
periods of time has become fully discharged, the 
“CHARGE” lamp flashes several times, and charging 
commences automatically.

≥If the “CHARGE” lamp continues to flash even though 

the battery temperature is normal, consult your dealer 
as a problem may have developed within the battery or 
AC adapter.

≥When the battery is warm, it takes longer than usual for 

the battery to be charged.

≥When the AC adapter is used near a radio, the radio 

sound may be distorted. Use the adapter at a distance 
of at least one meter from the radio.

≥Noise may be heard while the AC adapter is in use; 

however, this is normal and not indicative of any 
malfunctioning.

≥The battery cannot be charged while supplying power 

from the AC adapter to the camera recorder.
