The tables show the approximate number of images and the battery life that can be recorded/ viewed when you shoot images in normal mode with a fully charged battery pack at a temperature of 25°C (77°F). The numbers of images that can be recorded or viewed take into account changing the optional “Memory Stick” or Microdrive as necessary. Note that the actual numbers may be less than indicated depending on the conditions of use.

•The number of images and the battery life that can be recorded/viewed are decreased under the following conditions:
–The surrounding temperature is low
–The flash is used
–The camera has been turned on and off many times
–The zoom is used frequently
–The NightShot or NightFraming function is activated
–[LCD Backlight] or [EVF Backlight] is set to [Bright] in the SET UP settings
–The battery power is low.
The battery capacity decreases as you use it more and more and as time passes
(page 147).
•The battery life and the number of images recordable or viewable does not depend on the image size setting.
•The number of images is almost the same whether you use the finder or the LCD screen for shooting/viewing images.
•When using a CF card, the battery life and the number of images recordable or viewable may differ.
