Notes on the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
What is “InfoLITHIUM”
The “InfoLITHIUM” is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data with
compatible video equipment about its battery consumption. Sony recommends that you
use the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack with video equipment having the
mark.
When you use this battery pack with video equipment having the
mark, the
video equipment will indicate the remaining battery time in minutes*. However, if you
use it with video equipment not having this mark, the remaining battery capacity will
not be indicated in minutes.
* The indication may not be accurate depending on the condition and environment
which the equipment is used under.
How the battery consumption is displayed
The power consumption of the camcorder changes depending on its use, such as how
the autofocusing is working.
While checking the condition of the camcorder, the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
measures the battery consumption and calculates the remaining battery power. If the
condition changed drastically, the remaining battery indication may suddenly decrease
or increase by more than 2 minutes.
Even if 5 to 10 minutes is indicated as the battery remaining time on the LCD screen or
in the viewfinder, the
i indicator may also flash under some condition.
To obtain more accurate remaining battery indication
Set the camcorder to recording standby mode and point towards a stationary object. Do
not move the camcorder for 30 seconds or more.
• If the indication seems incorrect, use up the battery pack and then recharge it fully
(Full charge
1)
). Note that if you have used the battery in a hot or cold environment for
long time, or you have repeated charging many times, the battery pack may not be
able to show the correct time even after being fully charged.
• After you have used the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack with an equipment not having
the mark, make sure that you use up the battery pack on the equipment
having the mark and then recharge fully.
Why the remaining battery indication does not match the continuous recording
time in the operation manual
The recording time is affected by the environmental temperature and conditions. The
recording time becomes very short in a cold environment. The continuous recording
time in the operation manual is measured under the condition of using a fully charged
(or normal charged
2) ) battery back in 25°C (77°F). As the environmental temperature
and condition are different when you actually use the camcorder, the remaining battery
time is not same as the continuous recording time in the operation manual.
1) Full charge: Charging for about 1 hour after the CHARGE lamp of the AC power
adaptor goes off.
2) Normal charge: Charging just until the CHARGE lamp of the AC power adaptor goes
off.
Notes on charging
A brand-new battery pack
A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, charge it
completely.
Recharge the battery pack whenever you like
You do not have to discharge it before recharging. If you charged the battery pack fully
but you did not use it for a long time, it becomes discharged. Then recharge the battery
pack before use.
