adequately protected with internal protection to

meet the requirements of appropriate safety

standards. There is a possibility that these

battery packs may lead to fire or explosion.

Please be advised that we are not liable for any

accident or failure occurring as a result of use of

a counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe

products are used we would recommend that a

genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.

extremely cheap prices or in situations where

it is difficult to verify the actual products

before purchase have proven to be

counterfeit.

Charging time and recordable time

The times shown in the tables below are for when

the temperature is 25 oC and the humidity is 60%.

If the temperature is higher or lower than 25 oC,

the charging time will become longer.

A Charging time

B Maximum continuously recordable time

C Actual recordable time

(The actual recordable time refers to the

recordable time on a tape when repeatedly

starting/stopping recording, turning the unit on/off,

moving the zoom lever, etc.)

“1 h 40 min” indicates 1 hour 40 minutes.

≥The charging time and recordable time shown in

the table are approximations. The times indicate

the recordable times when the viewfinder is

used. The times in parentheses indicate the

recordable times when the LCD monitor is used.

≥We recommend the Battery Pack VW-VBG130,

VW-VBG260 and VW-VBG6 for long time

recording (2 hours or more for continuous

recording, 1 hour or more for actual recording).

≥The actual time may become shorter than this.

The recordable time shown in the table are

approximations. The recordable time will

become shorter in the following cases:

≥When you use both the viewfinder and the

LCD monitor simultaneously while rotating

the LCD monitor frontward to record yourself

etc.

≥The batteries heat up after use or charging. The

main unit of the movie camera being used will

also heat up. This is normal.

≥Along with the reduction of the battery capacity,

the display will change: # #

# # . If the battery

discharges, then ( ) will flash.
