All given times are approximate and vary according to recording mode
and charging, recording or playback conditions.
See Charging, Recording and Playback Times (; 212) for details.

IMPORTANT
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
• Do not connect to the camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the compact power
adapter any electrical equipment that is not expressly recommended for
use with this camcorder.
• Do not connect the supplied compact power adapter to voltage converters
or special power sources such as those on aircraft, DC-AC inverters, etc.

NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 °C and
30 °C. If either the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is
outside the range of approx. 0 °C to 40 °C, charging will not start.
• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder using
the compact power adapter so the battery pack will not be consumed.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge
them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer
than you think you might need.

you press the lever: press gently for slower zooms; press harder for faster
zooms. You can also change the zoom speed to one of three constant
speeds.
See Zooming (; 49) for details.
• In most situations, keep at least 1m away from the subject. Using the tele
