■

Checking

the

Remaining

Battery

Power

You

can

confirm

the

remaining

charge

in

the

attached

Battery

in

the

Viewfinder

or

on

the

’LCD

Monitor.

This

also

shows

you

approximately

how

much

more

continuous

recording

time

you

can

get

from

the

attached

Battery.

The

indicated

time

does

not

change

in

1-minute

steps.

The

above

illustrations

show

how

the

Time

Indication

This

shows

the

remaining

duration

of

continuous

recording

at

an

ambient

temperature

of

25°C

when

a

fully

charged

Battery

was

attached.

Therefore,

in

the

following

cases,

the

actual

available

recording

time

is

different

from

the

times

shown

above:

When

Recording

Is

Not

Performed

Continuously

In

most

cases,

you

will

frequently

start

and

stop

recording,

turn

the

Movie

Camera

on

and

off,

and

use

the

zoom

and

other

functions,

all

of

which

consume

power.

Therefore,

the

actual

available

recording

time

from

the

Battery

is

approximately

30%-50%

shorter

than

listed,

{p.

9)

When

the

Ambient

Temperature

Is

Extremely

Low

or

Extremely

High

The

characteristics

of

the

Battery

vary

according

to

the

ambient

temperature,

and

at

a

very

low

temperature,

the

possible

recording

time

becomes

extremely

short.

In

addition,

the

Remaining

Battery

Operation

Time

Indication

on

the

Movie

Camera

decreases

a

little

faster

than

at

an

ambient

temperature

of

25°C.

(At

a

higher

temperature,

it

tends

to

decrease

more

slowly.)

When

the

of

the

Has

Reached

Its

When

the

operation

time

even

after

full

is

too

for

the

of
