Panasonic HC-W580/HC-V380 — Charging and recording time

“h” is an abbreviation for hour, “min” for minute and “s” for second. These times are approximations. The actual recordable time refers to the recordable time when repeatedly starting/stopping recording, turning the unit on/off, moving the zoom lever etc. The batteries heat up after use or charging. This is not a malfunction. Battery capacity indication The display changes as the battery capacity reduces. # # # # If there is less than 3 minutes remaining, then will become red. If the battery discharges, then will flash. Screen display will disappear when no touch operation is performed for a specific period of time.

However, it will be constantly displayed when the remaining battery time becomes less than 30 minutes. The remaining battery capacity is displayed when using the Panasonic battery that you can use for this unit. The actual time can vary depending on your actual use. When using the AC adaptor or batteries made by other companies, the remaining battery capacity will not be shown.
