Approximate Number of Shots That Can Be Taken
The number of shots that can be taken is based on the Camera & Imaging Products
Association (CIPA) measurement standard.
Depending on the shooting conditions, the number of shots that can be taken may be
less.
Battery Charge Indicator
An icon or message will appear on the screen (p. 42) indicating the battery’s
charge state.
Charge the battery on the day, or the day before, it will be used.
Charged batteries continue to discharge naturally even if they are not used.
How to store the battery for long periods.
Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and
store the battery. Storing a battery without depleting it for long periods of time
(about one year) may shorten its life span or affect its performance.
The battery charger can also be used when abroad.
The charger can be used in regions that have 100 – 240 V (50/60 Hz) AC
power. If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially available plug
adapter. Do not use devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel
because they will cause malfunctions.
If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the end of its
life span.
Purchase a new battery.
