134EAdditionalInformationNotes on Using the BatteriesCharging and recording times• These times vary — the safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as manybattery packs as you think you will need.• You will get more recording time if you turn the camcorder off between shots,instead of leaving it in record pause mode.• You can use the battery pack between 0° and 40°C (32° to 104°F), but it worksbest between 10° and 30°C (50° to 86°F). Operating time will be shorter thanusual at low temperatures like a ski ground. For better operating results, thebattery pack can be warmed in your pocket or someplace and then used.• If the battery pack starts to give you much less operating time than usual (atnormal temperatures), it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.Note:• These figures show how long you can view playback with the LCD, afterattaching a fully-charged battery pack. Playback time will be shortened at lowtemperatures.Time needed forfull rechargeMaximum recording timeBP-512 (optional) 1 hr. 20 min. 2 hr. 45 min. 2 hr. 15 min.BP-511 (optional) 1 hr. 20 min. 2 hr. 45 min. 2 hr. 15 min.BP-522 (optional) 2 hr. 15 min. 5 hr. 50 min. 4 hr. 45 min.BP-535 (optional) 3 hr. 15 min. 9 hr. 15 min. 7 hr. 40 min.Using viewfinder Using LCD screenBP-508 1 hr. 1 hr. 30 min. 1 hr. 15 min.MV530iTime needed forfull rechargeMaximum recording timeBP-512 1 hr. 20 min. 2 hr. 45 min. 2 hr. 15 min.BP-511 (optional) 1 hr. 20 min. 2 hr. 45 min. 2 hr. 15 min.BP-522 (optional) 2 hr. 15 min. 5 hr. 50 min. 4 hr. 40 min.BP-535 (optional) 3 hr. 15 min. 9 hr. 15 min. 7 hr. 25 min.Using viewfinder Using LCD screenMV550iPlayback time (using the LCD screen)BP-512 2 hr. 15 min.BP-511 (optional) 2 hr. 15 min.BP-522 (optional) 4 hr. 45 min.BP-535 (optional) 7 hr. 40 min.MV550iDownloaded From VideoCamera-Manual.com Manuals
