Charging the battery pack (continued)

Battery life and the number of images that can be recorded/ viewed

The tables show approximate guidelines for the length of time the camera can be used when you shoot in Normal mode in an environment where the ambient temperature is 25°C (77°F), and the supplied battery pack is fully charged. The guidelines for the number of images that can be recorded or viewed allow for changing the supplied “Memory Stick” as necessary. Actual results may differ slightly from these, depending on the conditions of use.
