•The above values are based on a new battery starting from a full charge. Repeated charging shortens battery life.

•Recording time and the number of images you can record are greatly affected by how much you use flash, zoom and Auto Focus, how long the camera is left on, and the brightness setting of the monitor screen.

■Tips to Make the Battery Last Longer

•If you do not need the flash while recording, select (flash off) for the flash mode. See page 59 for more information.

•Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features (page 42) to protect against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera.

•Using Manual Focus (page 75) or Pan Focus (page 74) during movie recording extends battery life.

•The “Normal” monitor brightness setting allows battery power to last longer than the “Bright” setting (page 145).
