• The above approximate guidelines are based on the
following battery types:
Rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride
:HR-3UA SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.
Lithium :Energizer
*Battery life varies with brand.
*1 Number of Shots
• Normal temperature: 23°C (73°F)
• Monitor Screen: On
• Zoom operation between full wide to full telephoto
every 30 seconds, during which two images are
recorded, one image with flash; power turned off and
back on every time 10 images are recorded.
*2 Continuous Playback Conditions
• Normal temperature: 23°C (73°F)
• Scroll one image about every 10 seconds
• The above values are based on new batteries 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.
• The following shows approximate battery life for
continuous recording while flash is off, when power is not
turned off.
AA-size rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries (HR-
3UA): 660 shots (110 minutes)
■ Battery Life Guidelines
The battery life guideline values given below indicate the
approximate amount of time at a standard temperature of
23°C (73°F) until power automatically turns off due to
battery failure. They do not guarantee that the batteries will
provide the amount of service indicated. Low temperatures
and continued use reduce battery life.

• AA-size alkaline batteries (LR6) can be used if they are
the only option available to you. Note, however, that
alkaline batteries provide about five minutes or so of
camera operation. Alkaline batteries may not provide any
operation when the temperature is 5˚C(41˚F) or lower.
