Regarding the Battery
■
Battery pack performance decreases when the
surrounding temperature is 10°C (50°F) or below, and
shortens the battery life. In that case, do one of the
following so that the durability of the battery life can be
extended for a longer period of time.
- Put the Battery Pack in a pocket to warm it up, and
insert it in your CAM immediately prior to use.
- Use a large capacity Battery Pack (Optional).
■
Be sure to set the Power/Mode selector to OFF when
not recording or playing back. The battery power is also
consumed in standby, play back and pause mode.

Have your Battery Packs ready for two or three times
the expected recording time, and make trial recordings
before make the actual recording.

The Battery Pack is not water resistant.
