About the Battery (charging/number of recordable pictures)

nBattery indication

The remaining battery power appears on the screen. [It does not appear when you use the camera along with the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; optional).]

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

The number of recordable pictures by CIPA standards (In Program AE mode)

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

Number of	Approx. 300 pictures
recordable pictures	(Approx. 150 min.)

(Recording conditions by CIPA standards)

•Temperature: 23°C (73.4°F)/

Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.

•Record once every 30 seconds, with full flash every other recording.

•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 or high angle function (P41) 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.

[e.g. When recording once every 2 minutes, the number of recordable pictures decreases to about 75.]

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.

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.

nWhen 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.

nCharging conditions

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