lRecordable time with fully charged battery pack (with no zoom operation, etc.) For your reference, the approximate DVD Video Camera recordable time with fully charged battery pack [with model CGA-DU14A]: VDR-M50PP Video quality mode XTRA*1 FINE STD LPCM*2 DVD-RAM disc DVD-R disc When using approx. 140 min viewfinder − When using approx. 120 min LCD monitor − When using approx. 140 min approx. 135 min viewfinder When using approx. 120 min approx. 115 min LCD monitor When using approx. 165 min approx. 160 min viewfinder When using approx. 135 min approx. 130 min LCD monitor When using viewfinder − approx. 135 min When using LCD monitor − approx. 115 min VDR-M70PP Video quality mode XTRA*1 FINE STD LPCM*2 DVD-RAM disc DVD-R disc When using approx. 130 min viewfinder − When using approx. 110 min LCD monitor − When using approx. 130 min approx. 125 min viewfinder When using approx. 110 min approx. 105 min LCD monitor When using approx. 150 min approx. 145 min viewfinder When using approx. 125 min approx. 120 min LCD monitor When using viewfinder − approx. 125 min When using LCD monitor − approx. 105 min Continuous Recording (without zoom): The continuous recording time of DVD Video Camera in the left table shows the available recording time when the DVD Video Camera is in the recording mode without using any other function after recording is started. In actual recording, the battery pack 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 pack is between 40 and 60 minutes [with model CGA-DU14A], and prepare the type and number of batteries to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD Video Camera. Note that the battery pack discharges faster in cold places. lThe time taken for charging the battery pack is as follows [at 77ºF (25 ºC)] CGA-DU14A 165 min Note: • See page 158 when charging is not possible. • The charge time will vary depending on the remaining battery level. • During and after charging, the battery pack will be warm, but this does not indicate a fault. • If the following phenomena appear, the battery pack may be dead: Replace it. - Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the CHARGE indicator does not light). - The battery pack cannot be charged up to 75% if more than 9 hours have elapsed after charging started. - The battery pack cannot be fully charged if more than 5 hours have elapsed after it was charged to 75%. • Charge the battery pack at ambient temperature 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C): Charging at temperatures other than this range could damage the battery pack. *1 The time in XTRA mode is only for reference: It varies depending on recording contents. *2 LPCM mode can be set only when DVD-R disc is used. 43
