Optimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its
ability to generate power.is based upon the
chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This
reaction is susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature is
too high or too low, the operating time of the Battery
becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in an
extremely cold environment, the Battery may
operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery
becomes extremely hot, a protective function may
operate, and the Battery may become unusable for
a while.

Be sure to detach the Battery from the Movie
Camera. (If it is left attached to the Movie Camera, a
minute amount of current is consumed even when
the Movie Camera power is off.) If the Battery is left
attached to the Movie Camera for a long time, over
discharge takes place. The Battery may become
unusable after it is charged.
