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 120 min - 210 min - (in XTRA mode*) When using LCD monitor 105 min - 180 min - (in XTRA mode*) When using viewfinder 120 min 115 min 210 min 200 min (in FINE mode) When using LCD monitor 105 min 100 min 180 min 170 min (in FINE mode) When using viewfinder 130 min 125 min 225 min 215 min (in STD mode) When using LCD monitor 115 min 110 min 200 min 190 min (in STD mode) When using viewfinder - 115 min - 200 min (in LPCM mode**) When using LCD monitor - 100 min - 170 min (in LPCM mode**) (approx.) English * The time in XTRA mode is only for r eference: It varies depending on recording contents (the XTRA mode can be set on the DZ-MV230A only). ** 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
