43lRecordable time with fully chargedbattery pack (with no zoomoperation, etc.)For your reference, the approximate DVD Video Camerarecordable time with fully charged battery pack [withmodel CGA-DU14A]:VDR-M50PPVDR-M70PP*1The time in XTRA mode is only for reference: It variesdepending on recording contents.*2LPCM mode can be set only when DVD-R disc is used.Continuous Recording (without zoom):The continuous recording time of DVD Video Camera inthe left table shows the available recording time when theDVD Video Camera is in the recording mode withoutusing any other function after recording is started. Inactual recording, the battery pack will discharge 2-3times faster than this reference since the REC button andzoom are being operated, and playback is performed.Assume that the recordable time with a fully chargedbattery pack is between 40 and 60 minutes [with modelCGA-DU14A], and prepare the type and number ofbatteries to allow for the time you are planning to recordon the DVD Video Camera.Note that the battery pack discharges faster in coldplaces.lThe time taken for charging thebattery pack is as follows[at 77ºF (25 ºC)]Note :• See page 158 when charging is not possible.• The charge time will vary depending on the remainingbattery level.• During and after charging, the battery pack will be warm,but this does not indicate a fault.• If the following phenomena appear, the battery packmay be dead: Replace it.- Charging does not start within 10 seconds (theCHARGE indicator does not light).- The battery pack cannot be charged up to 75% if morethan 9 hours have elapsed after charging started.- The battery pack cannot be fully charged if more than5 hours have elapsed after it was charged to 75%.• Charge the battery pack at ambient temperature 50°F to86°F (10°C to 30°C): Charging at temperatures otherthan this range could damage the battery pack.VideoqualitymodeDVD-RAM disc DVD-R discXTRA*1 When usingviewfinderapprox. 140 min −When usingLCD monitorapprox. 120 min −FINE When usingviewfinderapprox. 140 min approx. 135 minWhen usingLCD monitorapprox. 120 min approx. 115 minSTD When usingviewfinderapprox. 165 min approx. 160 minWhen usingLCD monitorapprox. 135 min approx. 130 minLPCM *2 When usingviewfinder − approx. 135 minWhen usingLCD monitor − approx. 115 minVideoqualitymodeDVD-RAM disc DVD-R discXTRA*1 When usingviewfinderapprox. 130 min −When usingLCD monitorapprox. 110 min −FINE When usingviewfinderapprox. 130 min approx. 125 minWhen usingLCD monitorapprox. 110 min approx. 105 minSTD When usingviewfinderapprox. 150 min approx. 145 minWhen usingLCD monitorapprox. 125 min approx. 120 minLPCM *2 When usingviewfinder − approx. 125 minWhen usingLCD monitor − approx. 105 minCGA-DU14A165 min
