Notes

•

If the power goes off even though the remaining battery time indicator indicates that

the battery pack has enough power to operate, charge the battery pack fully again so

that the indication on the remaining battery time indicator is correct.

•

Battery pack performance decreases in low-temperature surroundings and recording

may not be possible even though the battery time remaining may be as much as 20

minutes. Recharge the battery pack fully in this case.

•

NP-FM30 is not recommended because of its short recording time when used with

your camcorder.
