The figures in the preceding table are for normal
temperature conditions (temperature 25°C (77°F)/
humidity 60%). This only serves as a guide
since charging may take longer in high or low
temperatures.
•
Charging may take longer if the battery has not
been in use for a long period of time.
•
Given here are the standard maximum
continuous recording times when recording in
PH 1080/60i mode using the viewfinder with no
connections to any external devices and with the
LCD monitor closed.
•
This serves only as a guide as available recording
times may vary according to usage conditions.
•
Charging times are based on the time to charge
batteries from an empty state.
Remaining battery capacity display
When using Panasonic batteries that are
compatible with this product, the remaining battery
capacity is displayed in minutes.
[
] 1h30m
The time remaining (as shown previously) is
displayed after a brief pause.
•
As battery capacity decreases, the display will
change as follows: [
]
[
]
[
]
[
]
[
]. When there are only 3 minutes
or less of capacity left, [
] will be displayed
in red, and when the battery becomes empty,
[
] will flash.
•
The remaining battery capacity may not be
displayed correctly when the battery is used in
high or low temperatures, or when the battery
has not been used for a long period of time. To
ensure that the remaining battery capacity is
displayed correctly, use the battery completely
from a fully-charged state and charge it again.
(Remaining battery capacity may still not be
displayed correctly if the battery has been used
for long periods in high or low temperatures,
or if the battery has already been recharged
numerous times.)
•
This only serves as a guide as remaining battery
capacity display times may vary according to
usage conditions.
•
The remaining battery capacity display will
momentarily disappear when switching between
modes, when conducting REC CHECK
operations, or when changing the LCD brightness
since the capacity is recalculated during these
times.
•
This is not displayed when using the AC adaptor.
•
The battery and the camera itself becomes hot
while it is being used or charged.
•
Available recording time is reduced if you
repeatedly start and stop recording.
•
The battery takes longer to charge when it is
warm.
•
Using the AC adaptor near radios may distort
their sound. Keep the AC adaptor 1 meter or
more away from radios.
•
The AC adaptor may make some noise when
in use, but this is normal.
•
The battery cannot be recharged when a DC
cord is connected to the AC adaptor.
