About the "InfoLITHIUM"
battery pack
What is the "InfoLITHIUM" battery
pack?
The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack is a lithium-ion
battery pack that has functions for
communicating information related to operating
conditions between your camcorder and an AC
power adaptor.
The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack calculates the
power consumption according to the operating
conditions of your camcorder, and displays the
remaining battery time in minutes.
Charging the battery pack
•Be sure to charge the battery pack before you
start using your camcorder.
•We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10 °C to 30 °C
(50 °F to 86 °F) until the backlight of the display
window goes out, indicating that the battery
pack is fully charged. If you charge the battery
pack outside of this temperature range, you
may not be able to efficiently charge the battery
pack.
•After charging is completed, either disconnect
the cable from the DC IN jack on your
camcorder or remove the battery pack.
Effective use of the battery pack
• Battery performance decreases in low-
temperature surroundings. So, the time that the
battery pack can be used is shorter in cold
places. We recommend the following to use the
battery pack longer:
– Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your
body to warm it up, and insert it in your
camcorder immediately before you start
taking shots.
– Use the large capacity battery pack (NP-
FM70/FM90/FM91, optional).
• Frequently using the LCD panel or frequently
operating playback, fast forward or rewind
wears out the battery pack faster. We
recommend using the large capacity battery
pack (NP-FM70/FM90/FM91, optional).
• Be certain to turn the POWER switch to OFF
(CHG) when not taking shots or playing back
on your camcorder. The battery pack is also
consumed when your camcorder is in the
standby mode or playback is paused.
• Have spare battery packs handy for two or
three times the expected shooting time, and
make a trial recording before the actual
recording.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water-resistant.
