If you use the playback feature excessively, it will also drain the HVR-A1J MVC-CD200 SONY camcorder battery. Wait until you can watch the video on a television, instead of previewing it all on your camcorder.

Always charge your HVR-A1J MVC-CD200 SONY camcorder battery to its fullest power. If you take it off the charger before it is done charging, it will lose its capacity.
