Notes on Using the Battery
If you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the battery itself will
become warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power adapter
supplied with the camera if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long
period of time.
Number of Shots Available
Reference
Number of Consecutive Shots Available
With the battery fully charged.
The above figures are a guide to the number of consecutive shots that can be taken
when the flash is used 50% of the time at room temperature. However, the actual
number of available shots varies depending on the ambient temperature when the
camera is used and the amount of charge in the battery.
To avoid wasting battery charge, switch the camera off promptly when it is not
being used.
To increase the time for which your battery can be used in cold locations, warm the
battery by placing it in your pocket and then load it into the camera just before you
take pictures. If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the battery
directly against the pad.
Remaining Battery Capacity
To avoid unexpected failures, load a fully charged battery into the camera before you
start shooting. Check the remaining battery charge displayed on the LCD panel.
