BATTERY REMAINING LEVEL INDICATOR
When the battery is used to power the DVD video camera/recorder, the battery remaining level 
appears in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen as follows:
EFFICIENT USE OF BATTERY
The battery will slightly discharge even if it is 
detached from the DVD video camera/
recorder.
 If the battery is left attached to DVD video 
camera/recorder, it will consume a slight 
amount of power. Therefore, it is 
recommended that you charge the battery 
shortly before using the DVD video camera/
recorder, usually on the day before you plan to 
use it.
When not using the DVD video camera/
recorder for an extended period:
It is recommended that you fully charge the 
battery once a year, attach it to DVD video 
camera/recorder and use it up; then remove the 
battery and store it in a cool place again.
Battery life:
The battery life varies greatly depending on the 
ambient environment and how often the DVD 
video camera/recorder is used. If the usable 
time of DVD video camera/recorder with a fully 
charged battery is noticeably short, the battery is 
probably dead: Purchase a new one.
Power save and discharge of battery:
It is recommended that you turn the DVD video 
camera/recorder off in status other than 
recording, since even during recording pause 
battery power is consumed at the same level as 
during recording.
If, when you specify Power Save On, the 
recording pause status continues for 
approximately 5 minutes, the DVD video 
camera/recorder will automatically turn off.
To set or release power save, see “TURNING 
DVD VIDEO CAMERA/RECORDER OFF 
AUTOMATICALLY (POWER SAVE)” on 
page 32.
