94 ªOptimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its 
ability to generate power is based upon the 
chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This 
reaction is affected by the surrounding temperature 
and humidity, and, if the temperature is too high or 
too low, the operating time of the Battery becomes 
shorter. If the Battery is used in an extremely cold 
environment, the Battery may operate only for about 
5 minutes. If the Battery becomes...

≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, 
condensation may take place on the LCD Monitor. 
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥If your Palmcorder is extremely cold when you turn 
its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor will be 
slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the 
internal temperature increases, it goes back to the 
normal brightness.

4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by 
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly 
reflective objects
≥Because the Palmcorder focuses on the 
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly 
reflective objects, the recording subject may 
become blurry.
5) Recording a fast-moving subject
≥Because the focus lens inside moves 
mechanically, it may not be able to keep up 
with the fast-moving subject.
6) Recording a subject with little contrast
≥Because the Palmcorder achieves focus 
based upon the...
