About the Battery

(charging/number of recordable

pictures)

∫The battery life
The number of recordable pictures (By
CIPA standard in normal picture mode
[])
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
•Temperature: 23 °C (73.4 °F)/
Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.¢
•Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card
(16 MB).
•Using the s upplied battery.
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the
camera is turned on. (When the optical
image stabilizer function is set to [MODE1].)
•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.
•Turning the camera off every 10
recordings and leaving it until the
temperature of the battery decreases.
¢The number of recordable pictures
decreases when the power LCD
function or high angle mode (P34) are
used.
•CIPA is an abbreviation of
[Camera & Imaging Products
Association].
Playback time
The number of recordable pictures and
playback time will vary depending on the
operating conditions and storing condition
of the battery.
∫Charging
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 batter y temperature is
excessively high or low, [CHARGE]
indicator flashes and the charging time
will be longer than normal.
•The term inals 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
o
C to 35
o
C (50
o
F to 95
o
F). (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).
Number of
recordable pictures
Approx. 350pictures
(Approx. 175min)
(DMC-FX12)/
Approx. 370pictures
(Approx. 185min)
(DMC-FX10)
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 86
(DMC-FX12)/92 (DMC-FX10).]
Playback time Approx. 450min
Charging time Approx. 130min
