About the Battery

The G700SE can be used with the following batteries:
• DB-65 rechargeable Li-ion batteries (supplied)
• AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores)
• AAA Nickel-Hydrogen Batteries (available in stores)
Number of shots you can take ----------------------------------------------------
• Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge
Battery Type
Number of Shots (Normal Mode)
Rechargeable Battery (DB-65) approx. 360
AAA Alkaline Batteries (available in stores) approx. 40
* When [LCD Auto Dim] (GP.84) is set to [On].
• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display 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).
• The figure for the number of shots that can be taken with AAA alkaline batteries
is based on measurements made with batteries manufactured by Panasonic.
• If [Off ] is selected for [LCD Auto Dim], up to 345 shots can be taken with DB-65
batteries and up to 40 shots with AAA alkaline batteries.
• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you
can take (GP.44).
• 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. If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we
recommend carrying a spare battery.
