Charging time and recordable time

The times shown in the table below show the

times at a temperature of 25 oC and a humidity of

60%. This is just a guide. If the temperature is

higher or lower than the specified value, the

charging time will become longer.

A Charging time

B Maximum continuously recordable time

C Intermittent recordable time

(The intermittent recordable time refers to

recordable time when the recording and stopping

operations are repeated.)

“1 h 10 min” indicates 1 hour 10 minutes.

≥The battery CGR-DU06 is supplied.

≥The times shown in the table are rough

estimates. The times indicate the recordable

times when the viewfinder is used. The times in

parentheses indicate the recordable times when
