Battery life

The battery life of the camcorder from a fully charged standard battery. Usually, the specifications indicate the battery life in the recording mode, but in perfect conditions — without using additional features such as zoom, backlight, etc., which also “eat up” the charge. And if there is a viewfinder (see "Features"), the shooting time is usually indicated through this device, and not through an external display. Therefore, in fact, the battery life may be less, but in general, this parameter quite clearly describes the capabilities of a particular camera, and different models can be compared by it.

Note that for many cameras, in addition to regular ones, also “reinforced” batteries are produced, which allow increasing battery life by 2-3 times. Therefore, if you are not satisfied with the operating time in the selected model, it makes sense to ask about the availability of such batteries.
