●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: For DZ-MV550A Video quality mode XTRA*1 FINE STD LPCM*2 DVD-RAM disc DVD-R disc When using viewfinder approx. 140 min − When using LCD monitor approx. 120 min − When using viewfinder approx. 140 min approx. 135 min When using LCD monitor approx. 120 min approx. 115 min When using viewfinder approx. 165 min approx. 160 min When using LCD monitor approx. 135 min approx. 130 min When using viewfinder − approx. 135 min When using LCD monitor − approx. 115 min For DZ-MV580A Video quality mode XTRA*1 FINE STD LPCM*2 DVD-RAM disc DVD-R disc When using viewfinder approx. 130 min − When using LCD monitor approx. 110 min − When using viewfinder approx. 130 min approx. 125 min When using LCD monitor approx. 110 min approx. 105 min When using viewfinder approx. 150 min approx. 145 min When using LCD monitor approx. 125 min approx. 120 min When using viewfinder − approx. 125 min When using LCD monitor − approx. 105 min 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 left 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. ●The time taken for charging the battery is 165 minutes at 77ºF (25ºC). Note: • See page 172 when charging is not possible. • The charge time will vary depending on the battery remaining level. • During and after charging, 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 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C): Charging at temperatures other than this range could damage the battery. *1 The XTRA mode can be set only when a DVD-RAM disc is used. The time is only for reference: It will vary depending on recording contents. *2 LPCM mode can be set only when DVD-R disc is used. English 41
