GETTING READY
•Recording one image per minute under the above conditions reduces battery life to about one sixth of that noted above.
•The above values are based a new battery starting from a full charge. Repeated charging shortens battery life.
•Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash, zoom and other functions, and how long you leave power turned on.
■Tip to Make the Battery Last Longer
If you do not need the flash while recording, select (flash off) for the flash mode. See page 50 for more information.
■Low Battery Indicator
The following shows how the battery capacity indicator on the monitor screen changes as battery power is used. The indicator means that remaining battery power is low.
Note that you will not be able to record images while the
battery indicator is . Charge the battery immediately whenever either of these indicators appears.
