Notices regarding the battery pack
✤
Make sure that the battery pack is charged before recording outdoors.
✤
To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
✤
When your camcorder is in CAMERAmode, if it is left in STBY mode without operation for
more than 3 minutes with a tape installed, it will automatically turn off to protect against unnecessary
battery discharge.
✤
Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
✤
A brand new battery pack is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, charge it completely.
✤
It is a good idea to use the viewfinder instead of the LCD when recording for a long time,
because the LCD uses up more battery power.
