■Battery Life Guidelines

The battery life guideline values given below indicate the amount of time at standard temperature (25°C (77°F)) until power automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not guarantee that the battery will provide the amount of service indicated. Low temperatures and continued use reduce battery life.

	Operation	Approximate Battery Life

	Continuous Recording*1	80 minutes (480 shots)
	(Continuous Snapshot Recording)	80 minutes (480 shots)
	(Continuous Snapshot Recording)

	Continuous Playback*2	120 minutes

Supported Battery: NP-20 (Rated Capacitance: 680mAh)

*1 Continuous Recording Conditions

•Normal temperature: 25°C (77°F)

•Flash: Off

•Monitor screen: On

•Image recorded about every 10 seconds

*2 Continuous Playback Conditions

•Normal temperature: 25°C (77°F)

•Scroll one image about every 10 seconds

•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 on 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.
