the unit,
approx. 10 seconds before it turns off.
• If the battery operation time remains extremely
short even after having been fully charged, the
battery is worn out and needs to be replaced.

internally, it becomes warm during use. Be
sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
• After 5 minutes have elapsed in Record-
Standby mode with the cassette inserted and
no operation is performed, the camcorder
will automatically turn off its power supplied
