About the Battery

This camera can only be used with the following dedicated battery:

• Rechargeable Battery DB-60 (supplied)

This is a lithium-ion battery. It is economical because you can recharge it using the battery charger and use it over and over again. The battery lasts a long time, so it is convenient when traveling.

Note

Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: 350

Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, LCD 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 the Power-Save or Synchro-Monitor Mode to increase the number of shots you can take.

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.
