BATTERY REMAINING LEVEL INDICATOR

appears in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen as follows:
EFFICIENT USE OF BATTERY

The battery will slightly discharge even if it is
detached from the DVD video camera/
recorder.
•
If the battery is left attached to DVD video
camera/recorder, it will consume a slight
amount of power. Therefore, it is
recommended that you charge the battery
shortly before using the DVD video camera/
recorder, usually on the day before you plan to
use it.

order for an extended period:
It is recommended that you fully charge the
battery once a year, attach it to DVD video
camera/recorder and use it up; then remove the
battery and store it in a cool place again.
Battery life:
The battery life varies greatly depending on the
ambient environment and how often the DVD
video camera/recorder is used. If the usable
time of DVD video camera/recorder with a fully
charged battery is noticeably short, the battery is
probably dead: Purchase a new one.
Power save and dis
c
harge of battery:
It is recommended that you turn the DVD video
camera/recorder off in status other than
recording, since even during recording pause
battery power is consumed at the same level as
during recording.
If, when you specify Power Save On, the
recording pause status continues for
approximately 5 minutes, the DVD video
camera/recorder will automatically turn off.
To set or release power save, see “TURNING
DVD VIDEO CAMERA/RECORDER OFF
AUTOMATICALLY (POWER SAVE)” on
