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

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 switch to OFF when not recording
or playing back. The battery power is also consumed
