G Continuously recordable time on DVD video camera/recorder with fully charged battery The reference for DVD video camera/recorder recordable time with fully charged battery is between 40 and 60 minutes [with model DZ-BP14(R)/DZBP16 (sold separately)] or between 70 and 100 minutes (with model DZ-BP28 (sold separately)): Battery DZ-BP14(R)/ DZ-BP28 DZ-BP16(Sold (Sold separately) separately) DVD- DVD-R DVD- DVD-R RAM RAM When using viewfinder 115 min - 185 min - (in XTRA mode*) When using LCD monitor 95 min - 160 min - (in XTRA mode*) When using viewfinder 115 min 110 min 185 min 180 min (in FINE mode) When using LCD monitor 95 min 90 min 160 min 155 min (in FINE mode) When using viewfinder 125 min 120 min 210 min 205 min (in STD mode) When using LCD monitor 110 min 105 min 180 min 175 min (in STD mode) When using viewfinder - 110 min - 180 min (in LPCM mode**) When using LCD monitor - 90 min - 155 min (in LPCM mode**) (approx.) English * The time in XTRA mode is only for reference: It varies depending on recording contents. ** LPCM mode can be set only when DVD-R disc is used. Without any extraordinary operation, such as zooming: The continuously DVD video camera/recorder recordable time in the above table shows the time available when the DVD video camera/recorder is in the recording mode without using any other function after recording is started. In actual recording, the battery will discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference, since the REC button and zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. Assume that the recordable time with a fully charged battery is between 40 and 60 minutes (with model DZ-BP14(R)/DZ-BP16 (sold separately)) or between 70 and 100 minutes (with model DZ-BP28 (sold separately)), and prepare the type and number of batteries to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD video camera/recorder. Note that the battery discharges faster in cold places. G The time taken for charging the battery is as follows (at 25 °C) DZ-BP14(R)/DZ-BP16 (sold separately) 170 min DZ-BP28 (sold separately) 270 min Note: During and after charging, the battery will be warm, but this does not indicate a fault. Note: If the following phenomena appear, the battery may be dead: Replace it. - Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the CHARGE/ACCESS indicator does not light) - The battery cannot be charged up to 75% if more than 9 hours has elapsed after charging started. - The battery cannot be fully charged if more than 5 hours has elapsed after it was charged to 75%. Note: Charge the battery at ambient temperature 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C): Charging at temperatures other than this range could damage the battery. 32
