Charging Time and Maximum Time for Continuous Recording
(
The times shown in the above chart are approximations. The figures in parentheses show the recording
time when using the LCD Monitor.)
The times listed above for your information indicate the duration of recording performed at an ambient
temperature of 25°C and 60% relative humidity. The charging time may be longer when you charge the
Battery at higher or lower temperature.
≥
During recording or charging, the Battery becomes warm. However, this is normal.
≥
To ensure precise indication of the remaining battery power, always use a fully charged Battery when
attaching a Battery.

When first charging a Battery that is completely
discharged as a result of being in storage for an
extended period of time, etc., the [POWER] Lamp
and the [CHARGE] Lamp both flash.
