Tips to Extend the Recording and Playback Times

*The battery lives indicated above tend to narrow depending on the ambient environment.

*In an extremely cold environment, warming the batteries by hand, for example, could allow you to take more pictures. Where the ambient temperature is extremely low, use of rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries is recommend for their cold resistance.

*Choose rechargeable batteries having as high a capacitance as possible. (The capacitance rating is marked in the unit mAh.)

*Increased use of the flash or zoom feature or the LCD monitor would speed up the exhaustion of the batteries. Cut their usage to a minimum required.

*The available picture count tends to increase when they are recorded in the 900 ⋅ 600 recording mode.

*Copying or erasing images repeatedly would also accelerate the exhaustion of the batteries.

Note • You are advised to make spare batteries available when powering the camera from the internal batteries alone.

•The battery symbol (), when lit, indicates that the camera's internal batteries have a diminishing voltage. Make spare batteries available.
