Battery pack Time needed for full recharge Maximum recording time BP-608 BP-617 (option) 1 hr. 30 min. 2 hr. 30 min. Using the viewfinder: 50 min. Using the LCD screen: 45 min. 1 hr. 50 min. 1 hr. 35 min. • Recording time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures. You can use the battery pack between 32° and 104°F (0° to 40°C), but it works best between 50° and 86°F (10° to 30°C). • If the battery pack starts to give you much less recording time than usual, it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced. How much power is left? The indicator in the display shows you approximately how much charge the battery pack has left: Notes: • "CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK" appears in the display for four seconds when the power is completely exhausted.

CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK
The indicator in the display shows you
approximately how much charge the
battery pack has left:
Notes:
“CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK”
appears in the display for four
seconds when the power is
completely exhausted. The empty
battery mark then appears and starts
to flash. The power indicator light
also flashes.
The indicator is not constant —
different levels will be shown when
you subject the battery pack and
camcorder to different conditions.
How much power is left?
Recording time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures. You can use the
battery pack between 32° and 104°F (0° to 40°C), but it works best between
50° and 86°F (10° to 30°C).
If the battery pack starts to give you much less recording time than usual, it has
reached the end of its life and must be replaced.
