About the battery
The battery used in the movie camera is a
rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is
susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the
effect of temperature increases with increasing or
decreasing temperature. In the low temperature
range, the fully charged indication may not
appear, or the low battery indication may appear
about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high
temperature, moreover, the protection function
may work, disabling use of the movie camera.
Be sure to detach the battery after use
≥
If the battery is left attached to the movie
camera, a minute amount of current is
consumed even when the movie camera power
is [OFF]. If the battery is left attached to the
movie camera for a long time, over-discharge
takes place. The battery may become unusable
after it is charged.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for
recording.
≥
Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the
period during you want to record pictures in. In
cold places such as a ski resort, the period
during which you can record pictures is
shortened.
≥
When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC
adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries
at your destination.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to
see if the terminals are deformed.
≥
Attaching a deformed battery to the movie
camera or AC adaptor may damage the movie
camera or AC adaptor.
After use, be sure to take the cassette out and
detach the battery from the movie camera or
pull out the AC mains lead from AC mains
socket.
≥
The battery should be stored in a cool place free
from humidity, with as constant temperature as
possible. (Recommended temperature: 15
o
C to
25
o
C, Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)
≥
Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.
≥
If the battery is kept in a high-temperature,
high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the
terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.
