These figures are based on PENTAX measuring conditions. They may vary by Capture mode or shooting conditions.

Battery performance temporarily decreases as the temperature decreases. When using the camera in cold climates, have extra batteries on hand, keeping them warm in your pocket. Battery performance will return to normal when returned to room temperature.

Owing to the characteristics of AA alkaline batteries, the camera may not deliver optimal performance at low temperatures when powered by alkaline batteries. We recommend the use of other batteries such as CR-V3 batteries when using the camera in conditions of low ambient temperature.

When traveling overseas, taking pictures in cold climates, or when you will be taking a lot of pictures, please have extra batteries ready.

You can extend battery life by switching off the LCD monitor and shooting using the viewfinder.
