E Checking the Remaining Battery Power
You can confirm the remaining charge in the
attached Battery in the Viewfinder or on the LCD
Monitor. This also shows you approximately how
much more continuous recording time you can get
from the attached Battery. The indicated time does
not change in 1-minute steps.
The above illustrations show how the Remaining
Battery Operation Time Indication changes
according to the remaining operation time.
(T: Actual Remaining Battery Operation Time
(A): Remaining Battery Operation Time
Indication (This indication does not appear
when recording in the Mirror Mode.) (p. 27)
Remaining Battery Power & Operation Time
Indication
This Indication shows the remaining duration of
continuous recording at an ambient temperature of
25°C when a fully charged Battery was attached.
Therefore, in the following cases, the actual
available recording time is different from the times
shown above;
When Recording Is Not Performed
Continuously
In most cases, you will frequently start and stop
recording, turn the Movie Camera on and off, and
use the zoom and other functions, all of which
consume power. Therefore, the actual available
recording time from the Battery is approximately
30-50% shorter than listed. (p. 9)
A
When the Ambient Temperature ls Extremely
Low or Extremely High
The characteristics of the Battery vary according
to the ambient temperature, and ata very low
temperature, the possible recording time becomes
extremely short.
In addition, the Remaining Battery Operation Time
Indication on the Movie Camera decreases a littie
faster than at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
(At a higher temperature, it tends to decrease
more slowly.)
When the Service Life of the Battery Has
Reached Its End
When the operation time even after full charging is
too short for normal use, the service life of the
Battery has reached its end. (p. 96)
Inserting the Button-type Battery
Before setting the date and time, insert the button-type battery (supplied).
1 Open the [BACKUP BATTERY] Cover.
2 Insert the button-type battery so that its
(+) side is visible.
3 Close the [BACKUP BATTERY] Cover.
® Before inserting or removing the button-type
battery, be sure to set the [CAMERA/OFF/VCR]
Switch to [OFF].
When the button-type battery is exhausted, the
[£8] Indication flashes. In this case, replace it
with a new CR2025 battery.
(The life of the battery is about 3 years.)
e lo make it easier to remove the button-type
battery, use a pointed object.
e When you remove the button-type battery, be
careful not to drop it.
* Keep the button-type battery out of the reach of
children.
eMake sure you insert the battery with its poles
correctly aligned.
e The internal clock works even when the Movie
Camera is turned off, and it consumes power
from the button-type battery.

reversed, set [SELF SHOOT) on the [OTHER
FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu to [MIR.]. However, the
picture will still be recorded in the normal, non-reversed
way.
This mirror mode for the picture on the LCD Monitor
works only during recording and in the Recording
Pause Mode with the LCD Monitor facing forward.
elt is not possible to display and record the Date, Time
and/or Title Indication in the Mirror Mode.
