Charging

The built-in battery is not charged at the time of purchase.

At the time of purchase or in case of the battery is not used for a long period of time, the charging time will be longer than usual. The camera does not turn on if the remaining battery power is low. In this case, charge the battery for more than 40 minutes before turning on the power.

Charging time: Approx. 6 h 10 m (when charging at 25 ℃)

The battery cannot be charged outside the room temperature range of 10°C to 35°C. The CHARGE lamp does not light up when the battery is not being charged. If the temperature increases or decreases during charging, the CHARGE lamp will blink slowly and charging will stop. In this case, remove the AC adapter, press the Reset button and wait until the room temperature is within the above stated range before charging again.

You can record or play back videos during charging. (However, the charging time will be longer than usual. In addition, the remaining battery power may decrease according to conditions.) If the internal temperature rises when using the unit, stop the charging temporarily. (The CHARGE lamp goes off.)

If malfunctions (such as overvoltage) occur, charging will stop. In these cases, CHARGE lamp blinks quickly as a notification.

During charging, the icon on the screen changes to to indicate that charging is in progress. (when the provided AC adapter is used)

When the recording time becomes extremely short even when the battery is fully charged, the battery needs to be replaced. For details on replacing the built-in battery (subject to a fee), consult the nearest JVC service center.
