The image storage capacity (normal recording and flash use 50%) is based on
measuring conditions in accordance with CIPA standards, while other data is
based on our measuring conditions. Some deviation from the above figures may
occur in actual use depending on shooting mode and shooting conditions.
Status Screen Battery Level
w (Green) Batteries are full.
f (Orange) Batteries are running low.
z (Red) Batteries are almost empty.
“Battery depleted” The camera turns off after displaying the message.
f or z (Red) may appear even when the battery level is sufficient if the
camera is used at low temperatures or when performing continuous shooting
consecutively. In this situation, turn the camera off and on again. If w

Battery performance temporarily decreases as the temperature decreases.
When using the camera in cold climates, have extra batteries at hand and
keep them warm in your pocket. Battery performance will return to normal
when returned to room temperature.
Have extra batteries ready when traveling overseas, taking pictures in cold
climates, or when you will be taking a lot of pictures.
