Battery Pack
Make sure battery pack is fully charged before
use.
Continuous recording time of BP-E77K is
approximately 45 minutes.
• Some modes consume more power than
others, so actual recording time may be less
than 45 minutes.
• The safest policy is to have enough batteries
to cover two to three times the iength of
recording time scheduled.
• Using battery pack in cold temperatures will
shorten recording time.
• Battery pack normally becomes warm during
use.
• Battery’s + and - terminais may short circuit if
they come in contact with any metal objects.
Take care when handling battery pack, and
keep it in plastic or other protective covering
when carrying or storing.
• Power is slowly drained while the battery pack
is attached to the camera, even when the
camera is turned off. Remove the battery pack
when you don’t expect to use the camera.
• Use the optional BP-E722 Battery Pack for
lengthy recording (see p. 77).
• See battery pack instruction manual for further
information regarding battery pack.
• See p. 85 for Using Your Battery Packs
Effectively.
• Canon camcorders and accessories are
