Charging time: Approximate time in minutes required to fully charge a
completely exhausted battery.
Recording/Playback time: Approximate time available when you have fully
charged the battery. ‘Full HD’ stands for high definition image quality and ‘SD’
stands for standard image quality.
Times shown above are measured under Samsung’s test conditions. Your
times may differ, depending on your usage and conditions.
The recording and playback times will be shorter when you use your
camcorder in low temperatures.
We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse
REC function.
The charging time will vary depending on the charge remaining in the
battery.
The battery is charged over 95% after about 2 hours, and the
indicator color changes to green. It takes about 2 hours and 40
minutes for the battery to charge 100%. •

Continuous Recording (without zoom)
The continuous recording time above shows the available recording time when
you record without using any other function after recording starts. The battery may
discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference if you use the recording start/stop, the
zoom, and the playback functions. Prepare additional batteries with the expectation
that the actual recording time is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the times listed above.
Using an AC power source
We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder
from a household AC outlet when recording and playing the camcorder indoors.
The connection is the same as that for battery charging.

About the battery
Battery Properties
A lithium-ion battery is small-sized and has a high capacity. Low ambient
temperature (below 50ºF (10ºC)) may shorten its usage time and affect its
function. Before recording in low temperatures, put the battery into your
pocket to warm it, then install it in the camcorder.
Make sure to store the battery separately after use.
- A small amount of battery power is consumed when the battery is stored
in the camcorder even if the camcorder power is off.
- The battery may be completely discharged, if it has been installed and left
in the camcorder for a long period of time. If this occurs, the battery may
not fully operate even if you charge it.
- If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery and then,
using your camcorder, drain the charge completely once every 3 months
to keep the battery functioning properly. To store the battery, remove it
from your camcorder and put it in a cool, dry place.
Charge an extra battery before using the camcorder outdoors in cold
temperatures.
- The cold temperature may shorten the available recording time.
- Carry the supplied AC power adaptor to charge the battery while travelling.
Check whether the battery terminal is damaged if the battery falls or is
dropped.
- If you install a battery with the damaged terminal into the camcorder, you
can damage the camcorder.
Remove the battery and the memory card from the camcorder and
disconnect the AC power adaptor after use.
- Store the battery in a stable, cool and dry place.
(Recommended temperature : 59ºF ~ 77ºF (15ºC~ 25ºC), recommended
humidity: 40%~ 60%)
- Temperatures that are too high or too low shorten the battery lifetime.
- The battery terminals can become rusty or malfunction if the battery is
stored in a smoky or dusty location.
Recycle or dispose of your dead batteries properly.
The battery lifetime is limited.
- Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If
decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably
time to replace the battery with a new one.
- Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating, and environmental
conditions.
