Remaining Recording Time
Display
When the VIEWCAM is recording in Camera
mode, an on-screen indicator displays the
approximate remaining recording time.
Remaining Battery Power
Display
When using the VIEWCAM with the battery
pack as the power source, you can turn on and
off the remaining battery power display by
pressing the MODE DISPLAY button.
If the battery power becomes very low, a
warning indicator will appear. Replace the
battery pack.
To turn off the time-remaining indicator, press
the MODE DISPLAY button.
Notes:
• The time-remaining indicators only show the
approximate time left. Also, they vary slightly
depending on the length of tape used. (This
function’s design is based on the DVM60 tape
standard.)
• If you turn off the time-remaining indicator, it will
reappear after a short interval to indicate the
new time remaining.
• The remaining recording time display appears
5 seconds after pressing the REC START/
STOP button to begin recording.

Notes:
• Use the remaining battery power display only as
an approximate indication.
• The battery power display may change to either
a higher or lower level if you set the Power
switch to OFF and then back to CAMERA or
VCR.
• In cold environments, the red remaining battery
power display may appear sooner. The battery
pack, however, can be used until the warning
indicator appears. Replace the battery pack at
this time.
• Battery consumption may vary depending on the
condition of use.
• Use of the zoom functions when the warning
indicator is displayed may cause the VIEWCAM
to suddenly lose power.
