Notes on Using the Batteries
Charging and recording times
• G20Hi: Continuous recording time will be reduced to approx. 50% with
continuous use of the video light.
• When you use the optional CH-910 Dual Battery Charger/Holder with 2 battery
packs attached, maximum recording time will be almost doubled.
For example, when you attach 2 BP-945 battery packs, the G15Hi/G20Hi can
record up to 13 hours and the G2000 up to 15.5 hours continuously.
• These times vary — the safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as many
battery packs as you think you will need.
• You will get more recording time if you turn the camera off between shots,
instead of leaving it in record pause mode.
• Recording time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures. You can use the
battery pack between 0° and 40°C (32° to 104°F), but it works best between 10°
and 30°C (50° to 86°F). At locations with extremely low temperatures such as
ski resorts, a warning display might sometimes appear for about five minutes
after starting use.
• If the battery pack starts to give you much less recording time than usual, it has
reached the end of its life and must be replaced.
