Inserting/Removing the Battery, Playback time

Preparation

•Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.

•Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.

•Turn the camera off every 10 recordings.

•CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].

¢The number of recordable pictures decreases when the power LCD function or high angle function (P35) are used.

The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time.

If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures decreases.

[e.g. When recording once every

2 minutes, the number of recordable pictures decreases to about 80.]

Playback time

Playback time Approx. 360 min

The number of recordable pictures and playback time will vary depending on the operating conditions and storing condition of the battery.

∫Charging

Charging time Approx. 130 min

Charging time and number of recordable pictures with the optional battery pack (CGA-S005A) are the same as above.

•The [CHARGE] indicator lights when charging starts.

∫When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes

• The battery is over discharged (discharged excessively). In a while, [CHARGE] indicator will light up and normal charging will start.

• When the battery temperature is excessively high or low, [CHARGE] indicator flashes and the charging time will be longer than normal.

•The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.

•When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.

∫Charging conditions

•Charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF). (The battery temperature should also be the same.)

•The performance of the battery may temporarily deteriorate and the operating time may become shorter in low temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/ snowboarding).
