• The chart specifies the approximate times in

minutes.

Notes:

Charge the battery pack between 10°C and
30°C. The battery pack may not charge
properly at temperatures too low or too high.

The battery pack and charger become warm
during charging. This is not a malfunction.

Using the zoom (see page 24) and other
functions or turning the power on and off
frequently will increase power consumption.
This may result in a decrease in the actual
recording time compared to the maximum
continuous recording time listed above.

The charging time and recording time may
vary depending on the ambient temperature
and the condition of the battery pack.

• See pages 96 and 97 for more information on

using the battery pack.

Caution:

• Charge only SHARP model BT-L221, BT-L441,

BT-LS222 or BT-LS442A battery packs. Other
types of battery packs may burst, causing
personal injury and damage.
