3. Attach the battery to the AC adapter/charger.
Orient the terminal section of battery toward the DC OUT of AC adapter/charger,
and while fitting the battery onto the charger, slide it in the direction of the arrow.
The CHG. indicator on AC adapter/charger will blink, and charging will start. (If
charge remains on the battery, the 80% indicator may light.)
Blinking of the CHG. indicator will change to a steady light after charging has
started. When the battery has been fully charged, the 100% indicator will light.
Continuously recordable time on camcorder with fully charged battery
The reference for DVD camcorder recordable time with fully charged battery is be-
tween 40 and 60 minutes (with model DZ-BP16) or between 70 and 100 minutes
(with model DZ-BP28):
When using viewfinder
(in FINE mode)
When using LCD monitor

Without any extraordinary operation, such as zooming:
The continuously DVD camcorder recordable time in the above table shows the time
available when the DVD camcorder is in the recording mode without using any other
function after recording is started. In actual recording, the battery will discharge 2-3
times faster than this reference, since the REC button and zoom are being operated,
and playback is performed. Assume that the recordable time with a fully charged
battery is between 40 and 60 minutes (with model DZ-BP16) or between 70 and 100
minutes (with model DZ-BP28), and prepare the type and number of batteries to
allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD camcorder.
Note that the battery discharges faster in cold places.
The time taken for charging the battery is as follows (at normal temperature):
