English ●Continuously recordable time with fully charged battery (with no zoom operation, etc.) See the following table as a reference for how long the DVD video camera/recorder can continuously be used with a fully charged battery: With DZ-BP14S (provided with DZ-GX3300A/GX3200A)/DZ-BP14SW (optional) Video mode DZ-GX3300A DZ-GX3200A DZ-GX3100A DZ-BX35A XTRA*1 When using viewfinder When using LCD monitor approx. 105 min approx. 125 min approx. 145 min approx. 170 min approx. 95 min approx. 115 min approx. 130 min approx. 150 min FINE When using viewfinder When using LCD monitor approx. 105 min approx. 125 min approx. 145 min approx. 170 min approx. 95 min approx. 115 min approx. 130 min approx. 150 min STD When using viewfinder When using LCD monitor approx. 115 min approx. 140 min approx. 170 min approx. 210 min approx. 105 min approx. 125 min approx. 145 min approx. 170 min With DZ-BP07PW (provided with DZ-GX3100A/BX35A)/DZ-BP7SW*2 (optional) Video mode XTRA*1 FINE STD When using viewfinder When using LCD monitor When using viewfinder When using LCD monitor When using viewfinder When using LCD monitor DZ-GX3100A approx. 70 min approx. 65 min approx. 70 min approx. 65 min approx. 80 min approx. 70 min DZ-BX35A approx. 85 min approx. 75 min approx. 85 min approx. 75 min approx. 100 min approx. 85 min *1 The time is only for reference: It will vary depending on recording contents. *2 Unavailable for DZ-GX3300A/GX3200A. The reference for how long the DVD video camera/recorder can actually be used will be approx. 1/2 to 1/3 of the above time: The continuously recordable time of DVD video camera/recorder 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 actually recordable time with a fully charged battery is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the above time, and prepare enough batteries to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD video camera/recorder. The continuously recordable time may be less depending on the conditions when the DVD video camera/recorder is used (if recording and recording pause are repeated at short intervals, etc.). Note that the battery discharges faster in cold places. Note: • See "Troubleshooting" on page 139 when charging is not possible. • The charge time will vary depending on the battery remaining level. • During and after charging, and when the DVD video camera/recorder is being used, the battery will be warm, but this does not indicate a fault. • A battery cannot be charged while the DC power cord is connected to the DC output jack of AC adapter/charger: Unplug the DC power cord when charging a battery. • Charge the battery at ambient temperature 50ºF to 86ºF (10ºC to 30ºC): Charging at temperatures other than this range could damage the battery. 29
