Getting the Most out of Your 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
Battery life is
shorter in a cold
environment
To save battery
power
We show you several hints that would be helpful when you prepare the battery
pack.
Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 or 3 times as much recording as you
have planned.
“Battery life” indicated in this manual is measured by the continuous recording
time of the camcorder, placed at a room temperature using a full-charged battery.
Battery efficiency is decreased and the battery will be used up more quickly if
you are recording in a cold environment.
Turn STANDBY on the camcorder down when not recording to save battery power.
A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped
and started again.
While positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking through the
viewfinder lens, the lens moves automatically and the battery is used. The battery
will be also used when a tape is inserted or removed.
When to Replace the Battery Pack
When the Csp indication inside the viewfinder changes from slow flashing to rapid
flashing while you are recording, slide POWER to OFF on the camcorder and
replace the battery pack. Leave the tape in the camcorder in order to obtain a
smooth transition scenes after the battery pack is replaced.
