• The chart specifies the approximate times in
minutes.
Notes:
• Charge the battery pack between 10°C and
30°C. The battery pack may not charge
properly at temperatures too low or too
high.
• The battery pack and AC adapter become
warm during charging. This is not a
malfunction.
• Using the zoom (see page 24) and other
functions or turning the power on and off
frequently will increase power consumption.
This may result in a decrease in the
actual recording time compared to the
maximum continuous recording time listed
above.
• The charging time and recording time may
vary depending on the ambient temperature
and the condition of the battery pack.
• See pages 102 and 103 for more information
on using the battery pack.
• Charge only SHARP model BT-L227 battery
packs. Other types of battery packs may
burst, causing personal injury and damage.
• When attaching the supplied audio/video/Svideo
cable or USB cable, remove the DC
plug, open the terminal cover and connect it.
