Panasonic DMC-FS8S Battery indication, Battery life, Recording conditions by Cipa standard

Preparation

Note

•After charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet.

•The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.

•The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.

•The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the battery to swell up.)

•When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.

•Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug. Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting heat generated.

Recording conditions by CIPA standard

•CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].

•Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.¢

•Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).

•Using the supplied battery.

•Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the Optical image stabilizer function is set to [AUTO].)

•Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.

•Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.

•Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery decreases.

¢The number of recordable pictures decreases in Auto Power LCD mode, Power LCD mode and High angle mode (P23).

The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures decreases. [e.g. When recording once every 2 minutes, the number of recordable pictures decreases to about 90 (DMC-FS7)/100(DMC-FS6).]
