• Charging time: Approximate time in minutes required to fully charge a completely exhausted battery.
• Recording/Playback time: Approximate time available when you have fully charged the battery.
• Times shown above are measured under Samsung’s test conditions. Your times may differ, depending on your usage and conditions.
Continuous Recording (without zoom)
The continuous recording time above shows the available recording
time when you record without using any other function after recording
starts. The battery may discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference
if you use the recording start/stop, the zoom, and the playback
functions. Prepare additional batteries with the expectation that the
actual recording time is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the times listed above.
Using an AC power source
We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the
camcorder from a household AC outlet when recording and playing
the camcorder indoors. The connection is the same as that for battery
charging.

camcorder in low temperatures.

Time Lapse function.
