■Battery Life Guidelines

The battery life guideline values given below indicate the amount of time under the conditions defined below the table, 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.

•Scroll one image about every 10 seconds

*4 Voice recording times are based on continuous recording.
