Q
Make sure battery pack is fully charged before use.
Continuous recording time of BP-E77K is approximately 55 minutes.
•Some modes consume more power than others, so actual recording time may be less than 55 minutes.
•The safest policy Is to have enough batteries to cover two to three times the length of recording time scheduled.
•Using battery pack in cold temperatures will shorten recording time.
•Battery pack normally becomes warm during use.
•Battery’s + and - terminals 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-E718, BP-E722 or BP-E722D Battery Pack for lengthy recording (see p. 70).
•See battery pack instruction manual for further information regarding battery pack.
•See p. 78 for Using Your Battery Packs Effectively.
•Canon camcorders and accessories are manufactured with great care and strict quality control. It is recommended that you use only genuine Canon brand batteries and other accessories for your camcorder to ensure maximum performance.

Charging Battery Pack nsra
Use the CA-100 Compact Power Adapter or the optional CB-110 Car Battery Adapter to charge battery pack.
Connect the battery pack to the CA-100 (or CB-110) as shown and plug into mains outlet (or car cigarette lighter socket).
When the OPERATE indicator (green) is glowing steadily and the CHARGE indicator (red) is blinking, charging has begun. When the battery pack is fully charged, the CHARGE indicator will glow steadily. Disconnect the battery pack from CA-100 (or CB-110).

O Charge Indicator
•Operate Indicator
•Always disconnect the DC-100 DC Coupler
from the CA-100 (or CB-110) before charging the battery pack.
•The charging time for one battery pack is shown in the table on the next page. Charging time will vary according to ambient temperature and remaining charge in battery.
•When charging a brand-new battery pack or one that has not been used for three months or more, charge up completely (until the CHARGE indicator lights). Then disconnect and reconnect battery pack to charge once again.
•It is possible to charge battery pack in an ambient temperature range of 0°C-40°C, but for best results, charge between 10°C-30°C. Use of battery pack in extremely high temperatures (above 40°C) may activate safety circuit, making operation impossible.
•When you don’t expect to use battery pack for a long time (three months or more), store it
in a discharged condition. Storing the battery pack in a charged condition will shorten its operating life.
•Immediately after use the battery pack will be hot, and it is best not to recharge it at this time. Make sure the battery pack has cooled off before recharging it.
•The optional MC-100 Multi-battery Charger
can also be used.
For further information, see the adapter or charger instruction manual.
