Continuous recording time

Playback time

• Charging time: Approximate time in minutes required to fully charge a completely exhausted battery.

• Recording/Playback time: Approximate time available when you have fully charged the battery. ‘Full HD’ stands for high definition image quality and ‘SD’ stands for standard image quality.

• Times shown above are measured under Samsung’s test conditions. Your times may differ, depending on your usage and conditions.

• The recording and playback times will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low temperatures.

• We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse RFC function.

• The charging time will vary depending on the charge remaining in the battery.

• The battery is charged over 95% after about 2 hours, and the indicator color changes to green. It takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes for the battery to charge 100%.

The continuous recording time above shows the available recording time 'when you record 'without using any other function after recording starts. The battery may discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference if you use the recording start/stop, the zoom, and the playback functions. Prepare additional batteries with the expectation that the actual recording time is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the times listed above.

We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household AC outlet when recording and playing the camcorder indoors.
