Battery life and memory capacity

Battery life and number of images you can record/view

The numbers shown in the following tables assume a fully charged battery pack (supplied) is used at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F). The numbers shown for images you can record/view are approximations and allow for changing of the “Memory Stick Duo” media as necessary.

Note that the actual numbers may be less than those indicated in the table depending on the conditions of use.

[Notes on the battery pack

Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use.

The battery life and the number of images you can record/view are decreased under the following conditions:

The surrounding temperature is low.

The flash is used frequently.

The camera has been turned on and off many times.

The zoom is used frequently.

The LCD Backlight brightens.

[AF Mode] is set to [Monitor].

[SteadyShot] is set to [Continuous] (DSC- W220/W230 only).

The battery power is low.

The Face Detection function is activated.

The battery life and the number of images do not change, regardless of image size.
