About the Battery
(charging/number of recordable
pictures)
∫ The battery life
The number of recordable pictures (By
CIPA standard in program AE 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.
•Turn the camera off every 10 recordings.
¢The number of recordable pictures
decreases when the power LCD function
or high angle function (P41) are used.
•CIPA is an abbreviation of
[Camera & Imaging Products Association].
The number of recordable pictures
when using the Viewfinder
(Recording conditions comply with CIPA
standard.)
Playback time when using the LCD
monitor
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
(CGR-S006A) 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, 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 oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF).
(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. 380 pictures
(Approx. 190 min)
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 95.]
