Tip to Make the Battery Last Longer
If you do not need the flash while recording, use the menu to
select (flash off) for the flash mode. See page 37 for
more information.
Low Battery Indicator
The following shows how the battery capacity indicator on
the monitor screen changes as battery power is used. If you
continue to use the camera while the battery level is ,
camera power will automatically turn off. When this happens,
charge the battery as soon as possible.
Battery Level High Low
Indicator
• Recording one image per minute under the above condi-
tions reduces battery life to about one sixth of that noted
above.
Voice recording times are based on continuous recording,
while audio playback times are based on continuous output
(through headphones).
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.
