Charging and recording time Charging/Recording time Temperature: 25 o C (77 o F)/humidity: 60%RH These times are approximations. The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely. Charging time and recordable time vary depending on the usage conditions such as high/low temperature. Recordable time of 3D recording mode is the same. (During 3D recording mode, 1080/60p and iFrame recording mode cannot be used.) 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. 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.
