The actual number of pictures you can take depends on the interval you leave between shooting. The number of shots reduces proportionately to the interval you leave.

•So for example if you leave 2 minutes between each shot instead of the 30- seconds given in the conditions above, then the number of shots reduce to a quarter (Approx. 60 pictures).

nCharging error

•If the [CHARGE] indicator blinks at approximately 1-second intervals during charging, a charging error has occurred. In this case, disconnect the AC Cable from the electrical outlet, detach the battery and then make sure both room and battery temperature are not too low or high. If the room temperature is between 10°C to 35°C, recharge the battery. If the [CHARGE] indicator still blinks even if you charge the battery for a while, consult the dealer or your nearest servicentre.

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