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

–  Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FP50/

FP70/FP90 (optional).

•  Frequent use of the LCD screen or a frequent 

playback, fast forward or rewind operation 
wears out the battery pack faster. We 
recommend using a large capacity battery pack: 
NP-FP50/FP70/FP90 (optional).

•  Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF 

(CHG) when not recording or playing back 
on your camcorder. The battery pack is also 
consumed when your camcorder is in recording 
standby or playback pause.

•  Have spare battery packs ready for two or 

three times the expected recording time, and 
make trial recordings before making the actual 
recording.

•  Do not expose the battery pack to water. The 

battery pack is not water resistant.

•  When 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. 
The indication on the remaining battery time 
will be indicated correctly. Note, however, 
that the battery indication will not be restored 
if it is used in high temperatures for a long 
time, or if left in a fully charged state, or when 
the battery pack is frequently used. Use the 
remaining battery time indication as a guide to 
the approximate shooting time.

•  The 

 mark that indicates low battery flashes 

even if there are still 5 to 10 minutes of battery 
time remaining, depending on the operating 
conditions or ambient temperature and 
environment.

•  If the battery pack is not used for a long time, 

fully charge the battery pack and use it up on 
your camcorder once a year to maintain proper 
function. To store the battery pack, remove it 
from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool 
place.

•  To discharge the battery pack on your 

camcorder completely, set [A.SHUT OFF] to 
[NEVER] on the  

 (OTHERS) menu and 

leave your camcorder in tape recording standby 

until the power goes off (p. 46).

•  The battery life is limited. Battery capacity 

drops little by little as you use it more and 
more, and as time passes. When the available 
battery time is shortened considerably, a 
probable cause is that the battery pack has 
reached the end of its life. Please buy a new 
battery pack.

•  The battery life varies depending on how it 

is stored and the operating conditions and 
environment for each battery pack.
