COLD WEATHER USE:
Although the battery pack can be used at
temperatures between 0°C and 40°C, it is
recommended that the battery pack be used
between 10°C and 30°C in order to take
advantage of its full capacity.
To use the battery pack effectively:
• When a battery pack is kept attached to the
camcorder or video light, a very small
amount of current flows into the equipment,
resulting in an overdischarge. Since the
battery pack cannot be fully recharged once
it has overdischarged, always remove the
battery pack from video equipment after
use.
• Always keep the terminals clean. If they get
dirty, wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
• Once camcorder is turned on, batttery
power is being consumed even when not
recording (pause, etc.). Turn the camcorder
off when not shooting.
• When the battery charge is low “ВАТТ”
flashes in the viewfinder, but the battery can
still operate the camcorder for several
seconds. Always fully discharge the battery
pack (the power supply cuts off
automatically) before storing.
Terminology
