Recordable time with fully charged
battery (with no zoom operation,
etc.)
The reference for DVD Video Camera recordable
time with fully charged battery [with model CGA-
DU07]:
VDR-M55EB
VDR-M75EB
(approx.)
The time is only for reference: It varies depending
on recording contents.
Without any extraordinary operation,
such as zooming:
The continuously recordable time of DVD Video
Camera in the left table shows the time available
when the DVD Video Camera is in the recording
mode without using any other function after
recording is started. In actual recording, the battery
will discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference,
since the REC button and zoom are being operated,
and playback is performed. Assume that the
recordable time with a fully charged battery is
between 1/2 and 1/3 of the time in the left table, and
prepare the number of batteries to allow for the time
you are planning to record on the DVD Video
Camera.
Note that the battery discharges faster in cold
places.

The time taken for charging the

The charge time will vary depending on the battery
remaining level.

During and after charging, the battery will be warm, but
this does not indicate a fault.

If the following phenomena appear, the battery may be
dead: Replace it.
- Charging does not start within 10 seconds (the
CHARGE indicator does not light).
- The battery cannot be charged up to 75% if more than
9 hours has elapsed after charging started.
- The battery cannot be fully charged if more than 5 hours
has elapsed after it was charged to 75%.
•
Charge the battery at ambient temperature 10°C to 30°C.
Charging at temperatures other than this range could
damage the battery.
