• The above values are based on a new battery starting
from a full charge. Repeated charging shortens battery
life.
• Recording time and the number of images you can record
are greatly affected by how much you use flash, zoom
and Auto Focus, how long the camera is left on, and the
brightness setting of the monitor screen.
■ Tips to Make the Battery Last Longer
• If you do not need the flash while recording, select
(flash off) for the flash mode. See page 59 for more
information.
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features (page
42) to protect against wasting battery power when you
forget to turn off the camera.
• Using Manual Focus (page 75) or Pan Focus (page 74)
during movie recording extends battery life.
• The “Normal” monitor brightness setting allows battery
power to last longer than the “Bright” setting (page 145).
