Tips for using the battery pack
This section shows you how you can get the most out of your battery pack.
Preparing the battery pack
Always carry additional batteries
Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have
planned.
Battery life is shorter in a cold environment
Battery efficiency is decreased, and the battery will be used up more quickly, if you are
recording in a cold environment.
To save battery power
Do not leave the camcorder in Standby mode when not recording to save the battery
power.
A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped and
started again. While you are positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking at the
LCD screen or through the viewfinder, the lens moves automatically and the battery is
used. The battery is also used when a tape is inserted or removed.
When to replace the battery pack
While you are using your camcorder, the remaining battery indicator on the LCD screen
or in the viewfinder decreases gradually as battery power is used up.
The remaining time in minutes also appears.
When the remaining battery indicator reaches the lowest point, the i indicator appears
and starts flashing on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.
When the i indicator on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder changes from slow
flashing to rapid flashing while you are recording, set the POWER switch to OFF on the
camcorder and replace the battery pack. Leave the tape in the camcorder to obtain a
smooth transition between scenes after the battery pack has been replaced.
