Also, they vary slightly depending on the length of tape used. (This function's design is based on the P6-120 tape standard.) • If you turn off the remaining recording time display, it will reappear after a short interval to indicate the new time remaining. • The remaining recording time display appears 5 seconds after pressing the REC START/ STOP button to begin recording. Notes: • Use the remaining battery power display only as an approximate indication. • The battery power display may change to either a higher or lower level if you set the Power switch to OFF and then back to CAMERA or VCR. • In cold environments, the red remaining battery power display may appear sooner. The battery pack, however, can be used until the warning indicator appears. Replace the battery pack at this time. • Battery consumption may vary depending on the condition of use. • Use of the zoom function when the warning indicator is displayed may cause the VIEWCAM to suddenly lose power. 20
