Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, LCD monitor on, 30 seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-angle or wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after each 10 shots).

Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can take. (GP.54)

The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.

Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The nickel-hydrogen batteries available in stores are not factory-charged. Charge them before use.

When using nickel-hydrogen batteries, use only those batteries that have been charged together. Do not mix different types of batteries.

The nickel-hydrogen batteries may be inert and consequently may not supply power immediately after they are purchased or when left unused for more than a month. In such a case, recharge the batteries two or three times before use. The batteries self- discharge with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge them before use.

The life of an AA alkaline battery depends on the brand and the storage time from the date of production. In addition, the life of an AA alkaline battery becomes shorter at low temperatures.

Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell and Ni-Cd, cannot be used.

The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.

Please remove the batteries if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of time.

Use of the rechargeable battery (DB-43) is recommended when using the Bluetooth® function or wireless LAN function (only for Caplio 500SE-W).

If you want to use a lithium-ion battery, use the rechargeable battery (DB-43) made exclusively for this camera. Do not use a rechargeable battery other than that specified by Ricoh.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
