•Rotating the zoom lever towards Tele to Wide and vice versa in every recording.

•Turn the camera off every 10 recordings./

Leaving the camera until the battery is cooled down.

Note:When the Power LCD function (P28) is used, the number of recordable pictures decreases.

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).

nPlayback time

Playback time Approx. 300 min.

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

nCharging

Charging time Approx. 130 min.

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

•When charging starts, the [CHARGE] indicator lights.

nCharging error

•If the [CHARGE] indicator blinks at approximately 1-second intervals during charging, a charging error has occurred. In this case, disconnect the charger 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 50°F to 95°F (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 servicenter.

•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.

nCharging conditions

•Charge the battery under temperature of 50°F to 95°F (10°C to 35°C). (Battery temperature should be the same.)

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