Notes on the "InfoLITHiUM" battery pack
What is "InfoLITHiUM"
The "IntoTlTHIUM" is a lithiuni ie»n battorv pack which can exchaneie data with
ccmipatible \ idco equipment about its balter\’ coiTsumption.
When \'ou use this batter\- pack u'ith \ideo equipment hav ing the (X)'«toem/iy« mark, thi'
video equipment will indicate the remaining battery time in minutes’^. However, it vciu
use it with video equipment not having this mark, the remaining battery capacity \\ ill
not be indicated in minutes.
"IntoTITHIUM" is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
The indication mav’ not be accurate depending on the amdition and ('nvironment
which the equipment is used under.
How the battery consumption is displayed
The power consumption ol the camcorder changes depending on its use, such as how
the autofocusing is working.
While checking the ctindititm of the camcorder, the "InfoLi rHlUM" battery pack
measures the battery consumption and calculates the remaining battery power, li the
condition changed drastically, the remaining battery indication may suddenly decrease
or increase by more than 2 minutes.
Ih’en if 5 to 10 minutes is indicated as the battery remaining time in the viewfinder, the
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, recharge the battery pack fully (Full charge”)- Note
that if you have used the battery in a Irot 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 'TnfoLITHIUM" battery pack with an equipment not having
the (} i } mouthium mark, make sure that you use up the battery pack on the equipment
having the (\) infou-miuM mark and then recharge fully.
Why the remaining battery indication does not match the
continuous recording time in the operating instructions
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 operating instructions is measured under the condition of using a fully
charged (or normal charged) batterv pack in 25°C. As the environmental temperature
and condition are different when you actually use the camcorder, the remaining battery
lime is not same as the continuous recording time in the operating instructions.
Full charge: Charging until FULL appears in the display window.
