l Battery Life Guidelines
The battery life guideline values given below indicate the
amount of time at standard temperature (25C) until power
automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not
guarantee that batteries will provide the amount of service
indicated. Low temperatures and continued use reduce bat-
tery life.

The above figures are approximations only.
The above guidelines are based on the following battery
types:
Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA
Lithium: Energizer
Figures are based on continuous recording under the fol-
lowing conditions.
Flash turned off
Normal temperature (25C)
Recording one image per minute under the above condi-
tions reduces battery life to about one sixth of that noted
above.
Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash,
zoom and other functions, and how long you leave power
turned on.
