About the Battery (charging/number of recordable pictures)

∫Battery indication

The battery indication is displayed on the LCD monitor.

[It does not appear when you use the camera with the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5G; optional) connected.]

•The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining battery power is exhausted. (The status indicator blinks when the LCD monitor turns off.) Recharge the battery or replace it with a fully charged battery.

∫The battery life

Number of recordable	Approx. 310 pictures
pictures		By CIPA standard in normal picture mode
Recording time	Approx. 150 min

Recording conditions by CIPA standard

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

•Temperature: 23 oC/Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.¢

•Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).

•Using the supplied battery.

•Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the optical image stabilizer function is set to [AUTO].)

•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 in Auto Power LCD mode and Power LCD mode. (P21)

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 77.]

Playback time

Approx. 400 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. 120 min maximum

Charging time and number of recordable pictures with the optional battery pack (DMW-BCE10E) are the same as above.

The charging time will vary slightly depending on the status of the battery and the conditions in the charging environment.

When the charging has been completed successfully, the [CHARGE] indicator turns off.

Note

•The battery may swell and its operating time may become shorter as the number of times it is charged increases. For long term battery use, we recommend you do not frequently charge the battery before it is exhausted.

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