The battery life reference values given below indicate the amount of time at standard temperature (25°C) until power auto- matically turns off due to battery failure. They do not guarantee that batteries will provide the amount of service indicated. Bat- tery life is reduced by low temperatures and continued use.

•The above figures are approximations only.
•The above guidelines are based on the following battery types: Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA
Lithium: Energizer
•Battery life varies with brand.
•Figures are based on continuous recording under the following conditions.
Flash turned off
One ZOOM slider switching between T (Telephoto) and W (Wide-angle)
Recording one image per minute under the above conditions re- duces battery life to about one sixth of that noted above. Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash, zoom and other functions, and how long you leave power turned on.
●Tips for Prolonging Battery Life
•Use the 
/
button to turn off the flash when you are not using it.
•You can also use the power save settings
●Alkaline Battery Life
The actual life of alkaline batteries is affected by a variety of fac- tors, including the battery manufacturer, the amount of time the batteries spend in storage before you use them, temperature while you are recording, and photographic conditions. As a rule, we recommend the use of lithium batteries or
The following examples show how alkaline battery life changes under different conditions.
Example 1: Intermittent use of the camera shortens battery life.
Conditions
•Temperature: 25°C
•Repeat of a cycle of recording of one shot per minute for 10 minutes, followed by one minute of playback, and a nine minutes of power off (power on, full lens extention, half lens contraction, full lens extension, image recording, power off)
•Flash on
Approximate Battery Life: 30 minutes (30 shots)
