About the Battery
(charging/number of recordable
pictures)
∫ The battery life
The number of recordable pictures (By
CIPA standard in normal picture mode
[])
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
• Temperature: 23 °C (73.4 °F)/
Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.
¢
• Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card
(16 MB).
• Using the supplied battery.
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the
camera is turned on. (When the optical
image stabilizer function is set to [MODE1].)
• Recording once every 30 seconds with
full flash every second recording.
• Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide
or vice versa in every recording.
• Turning the camera off every 10
recordings and leaving it until the
temperature of the battery decreases.
¢ The number of recordable pictures
decreases when the power LCD
function or high angle mode (P34) are
used.
• CIPA is an abbreviation of
[Camera & Imaging Products
Association].
Playback time
The number of recordable pictures and
playback time will vary depending on the
operating conditions and storing condition
of the battery.
∫ Charging
Charging time and number of recordable
pictures with the optional battery pack
(CGA-S005A) are the same as above.
• The [CHARGE] indicator lights when
charging starts.
∫ When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes
• The battery is over discharged
(discharged excessively). In a while,
[CHARGE] indicator will light up and
normal charging will start.
• When the battery temperature is
excessively high or low, [CHARGE]
indicator flashes and the charging time
will be longer than normal.
• The terminals of the charger or the battery
are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry
cloth.
• When the operating time of the camera
becomes extremely short even after properly
charging the battery, the life of the battery
may have expired. Buy a new battery.
∫ Charging conditions
• Charge the battery in a temperature between
10
o
C to 35
o
C (50
o
F to 95
o
F). (The battery
temperature should also be the same.)
• The performance of the battery may
temporarily deteriorate and the operating
time may become shorter in low temperature
conditions (e.g. skiing/snowboarding).
Number of
recordable pictures
Approx. 350 pictures
(Approx. 175 min)
(DMC-FX12)/
Approx. 370 pictures
(Approx. 185 min)
(DMC-FX10)
The number of recordable pictures
varies depending on the recording
interval time.
If the recording interval time becomes
longer, the number of recordable
pictures decreases.
[e.g. When recording once every
2 minutes, the number of recordable
pictures decreases to about 86
(DMC-FX12)/92 (DMC-FX10).]
Playback time Approx. 450 min
Charging time Approx. 130 min
