have a maximum of about 50 minutes* of continuous playback(77°F/25°C).

* When playback 1 image every 60 seconds.

The useful operation time of the Battery will gradually decrease after repeated use and recharging. The Battery is no longer serviceable if the operation time is very short, even after a sufficient charge.

Instead of the supplied Battery Pack, you can also use AA type Ni-Cd (high density type) or nickel-hydride batteries available on the market.

For emergency use you can install 2 Panasonic alkaline batteries. But, due to power consumption and shorter operation life of alkaline batteries compared to the supplied rechargeable battery pack, it is strongly recommended that only the Optical Viewfinder (turn off the LCD Viewfinder) be used to capture images when using alkaline batteries.

If you are not going to use the Digital Camera for an extended period of time, remove the Battery Pack from the Digital Camera.

CAUTION

Discharge the remaining voltage of the Battery Pack completely before charging. This is vital to maintain battery life and the operation time due to characteristics of the battery.

Do not remove the Digital Camera while charging is in progress.
