Battery Properties

A lithium-ion battery is smal-sized and has a high capacity.

Low ambient temperature (below 50°F (10°0)) may shorten its usage time and affect its function.

Before recording in low temperatures, put the battery into your pocket to warm it, then install it in the camcorder.

Make sure to store the battery separately after use.

- A small amount of battery power is consumed when the battery is stored in the camcorder even if the camcorder power is off.

- The battery may be completely discharged, if it has been installed and left in the camcorder for a long period of time. If this occurs, the battery may not fully operate even if you charge it.

- If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery and then, using your camcorder, drain the charge completely once every 3 months to keep the battery functioning properly. To store the battery, remove it from your camcorder and put it in a cool, dry place.

Charge an extra battery before using the cameorder temperatures.

outdoors in cold

- The cold temperature may shorten the available recording time.

- Carry the supplied AC power adaptor to charge the battery while travelling.

Check dropped.

whether the battery terminal is damaged if the battery falls or is

- If you install a battery with the damaged terminal into the camcorder, you can damage the camcorder.

Remove the battery and the memory card from the eamcorder disconnect the AC power adaptor after use.

and

- Store the battery in a stable, cool and dry place.

(Recommended temperature : 59°F - 77°F (15°O - 25°0), recommended humidity: 40%60%)

- Temperatures that are too high or too low shorten the battery lifetime.

- The battery terminals can become rusty or malfunction if the battery is stored in a smoky or dusty location.

Recycle or dispose of your dead batteries properly.

The battery lifetime is limited.

- Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace the battery with a new one.

- Each battery's life is affected by storage, operating, and environmental conditions.

Sound is recorded by the internal stereo microphone located on the front of the camcorder.

Make sure that the microphone is not blocked.

Before recording an important video, make sure to test the recording function to see if there any problems with the audio or video recording.

For various functions available during recording, see _pages 50.-57

If the power cabb/battery is disconnected or recording is disabled during recording, the system is switched to the data recovery mode.

Recording videos in a quiet environment increases microphone sensitivity that may record surrounding ambient noise. The increasing microphone sensitivity can let the camcorder record zoom noises during zooming (the sound of the zoom mechanism etc).

When you record indoors or in the dark places, ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted.

It can make interference effects on images and you cannot view the images recorded in the dark places correctly.

We recommend you to use professional camcorders like a infrared camcorder when recording at night.
