Actual storage capacity varies depending on subject composition, card size, and other factors. You may be able to store more or fewer pictures and videos.

Extending battery life

■Use the EVF instead of the LCD (see page 8). Use a power-saving LCD Brightness setting (see page 43).

■Charge the batteries when necessary.

■Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean, dry cloth before loading the batteries in the camera.

■Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). When using your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.
