Tips for Using the Battery Pack This section shows you how you can get the most out of your battery pack. Preparing the Battery Pack Always Carry Additional Batteries Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have planned. Battery Life is Shorter in a Cold Environment Battery efficiency is decreased and the battery will be used up more quickly if you are recording in a cold environment. To Save Battery Power Close the STANDBY cover when not recording to save battery power [a]. A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped and started again. While you are positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking through the viewfinder lens, the lens moves automatically and the battery is used. The battery is also used when a tape is inserted or removed. When to Replace the Battery Pack While you are using your camcorder, the remaining battery indicator in the viewfinder decreases gradually as battery power is used up. ci +(Imo +4 4+4 +c When the remaining battery indicator reaches the lowest point, the f---\3 indicator appears and starts flashing in the viewfinder [b]. When the indicator in the viewfinder changes from slow flashing to rapid flashing while you are recording, slide the POWER switch to OFF on the camcorder and replace the battery pack. Leave the tape in the camcorder to obtain a smooth transition between scenes after the battery pack is replaced. Notes on the Rechargeable Battery Pack Caution Never leave the battery pack under temperatures above 140°F (60°C), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight. The Battery Pack Heats Up During charging or recording, the battery pack heats up. This is caused by energy that has been generated and a chemical change that has occurred inside the battery pack. This is not cause for concern. Battery Pack Care • Remove the battery pack from the camcorder after using the battery pack, and keep it in a cool place. When the battery pack is installed to the camcorder, a small amount of current flows to the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set to OFF, which shortens battery life. • The battery pack is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging. Therefore, you should charge the battery pack right before using the camcorder. 56

Tips
for
Using
the
Battery
Pack
This
section
shows
you
how
you
can
get
the
most
out
of
your
battery
pack.
Preparing
the
Battery
Pack
Always
Carry
Additional
Batteries
Have
sufficient
battery
pack
power
to
do
2
to
3
times
as
much
recording
as
you
have
planned.
Battery
Life
is
Shorter
in
a
Cold
Environment
Battery
efficiency
is
decreased
and
the
battery
will
be
used
up
more
quickly
if
you
are
recording
in
a
cold
environment.
To
Save
Battery
Power
Close
the
STANDBY
cover
when
not
recording
to
save
battery
power
[a].
A
smooth
transition
between
scenes
can
be
made
even
if
recording
is
stopped
and
started
again.
While
you
are
positioning
the
subject,
selecting
an
angle,
or
looking
through
the
viewfinder
lens,
the
lens
moves
automatically
and
the
battery
is
used.
The
battery
is
also
used
when
a
tape
is
inserted
or
removed.
When
to
Replace
the
Battery
Pack
While
you
are
using
your
camcorder,
the
remaining
battery
indicator
in
the
viewfinder
decreases
gradually
as
battery
power
is
used
up.

When
the
remaining
battery
indicator
reaches
the
lowest
point,
the
f--\
-
3
indicator
appears
and
starts
fl
ashing
in
the
viewfinder
[b].
When
the
indicator
in
the
viewfinder
changes
from
slow
fl
ashing
to
rapid
flashing
while
you
are
recording,
slide
the
POWER
switch
to
OFF
on
the
camcorder
and
replace
the
battery
pack.
Leave
the
tape
in
the
camcorder
to
obtain
a
smooth
transition
between
scenes
after
the
battery
pack
is
replaced.
Notes
on
the
Rechargeable
Battery
Pack
Caution
Never
leave
the
battery
pack
under
temperatures
above
140°F
(60°C),
such
as
in
a
car
parked
in
the
sun
or
under
direct
sunlight.
The
Battery
Pack
Heats
Up
During
charging
or
recording,
the
battery
pack
heats
up.
This
is
caused
by
energy
that
has
been
generated
and
a
chemical
change
that
has
occurred
inside
the
battery
pack.
This
is
not
cause
for
concern.
Battery
Pack
Care
•
Remove
the
battery
pack
from
the
camcorder
after
using
the
battery
pack,
and
keep
it
in
a
cool
place.
When
the
battery
pack
is
installed
to
the
camcorder,
a
small
amount
of
current
fl
ows
to
the
camcorder
even
if
the
POWER
switch
is
set
to
OFF,
which
shortens
battery
life.
•
The
battery
pack
is
always
discharging
even
when
it
is
not
in
use
after
charging.
Therefore,
you
should
charge
the
battery
pack
right
before
using
the
camcorder.
