Continuous Recording (without zoom)
Charging, recording, and playback times with fully charged
battery pack (with no zoom operation, etc.)
- The times are only for reference. Figures shown above are measured under Samsung's test
environment and may differ according to user and conditions.
- We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC Function.
The continuous recording time of the camcorder in the table shows the available recording time
when the camcorder is in the recording mode without using any other function after recording
starts. When actually recording, the battery pack may discharge 2-3 times faster than this
reference, since the record start/stop and zoom functions are being operated, and playback is
performed. Prepare additional charged battery pack(s) to allow for the time you are planning
to record on the camcorder. Note that the battery pack discharges faster in a cold environment.
The benefits of the battery pack: the battery pack is small but has a large power capacity.
It should be recharged at temperatures between 50°F ~ 86°F (10°C ~ 30°C). However, when
it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 32°F (0°C)), its usage time is reduced and it may
cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or any other warm,
protected place for a short time, then reattach it to the camcorder.
Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. fire or a heater).
Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.
Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, generate
heat, or cause a fire.
