Before using11LSQT1291Charging time and recordable timeThe times shown in the tables below are for whenthe temperature is 25 oC and the humidity is 60%.If the temperature is higher or lower than 25 oC,the charging time will become longer.A Charging timeB Maximum continuously recordable timeC Actual recordable time(The actual recordable time refers to therecordable time on a tape when repeatedlystarting/stopping recording, turning the unit on/off,moving the zoom lever, etc.)“1 h 40 min” indicates 1 hour 40 minutes.≥The charging time and recordable time shown inthe table are approximations. The times indicatethe recordable times when the viewfinder isused. The times in parentheses indicate therecordable times when the LCD monitor is used.≥We recommend the Battery Pack VW-VBG130,VW-VBG260 and VW-VBG6 for long timerecording (2 hours or more for continuousrecording, 1 hour or more for actual recording).≥The actual time may become shorter than this.The recordable time shown in the table areapproximations. The recordable time willbecome shorter in the following cases:≥When you use both the viewfinder and theLCD monitor simultaneously while rotatingthe LCD monitor frontward to record yourselfetc.≥The batteries heat up after use or charging. Themain unit of the movie camera being used willalso heat up. This is normal.≥Along with the reduction of the battery capacity,the display will change: # ## # .
