Number of shots you can take ---------------------------------------------------------------
• Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge
• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, LCD monitor on, 30
seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-angle or
wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after
each 10 shots).
• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can
take. (G P.54)
• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of
time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The nickel-hydrogen batteries available in stores are not factory-charged. Charge
them before use.
• When using nickel-hydrogen batteries, use only those batteries that have been
charged together. Do not mix different types of batteries.
• The nickel-hydrogen batteries may be inert and consequently may not supply power
immediately after they are purchased or when left unused for more than a month. In
such a case, recharge the batteries two or three times before use. The batteries self-
discharge with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge them before use.
• The life of an AA alkaline battery depends on the brand and the storage time from
the date of production. In addition, the life of an AA alkaline battery becomes shorter
at low temperatures.
• Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell and Ni-Cd, cannot be used.
• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off
and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.
• Please remove the batteries if you are not going to use the camera for a long period
of time.
• Use of the rechargeable battery (DB-43) is recommended when using the
Bluetooth
®
function or wireless LAN function (only for Caplio 500SE-W).
• If you want to use a lithium-ion battery, use the rechargeable battery (DB-43) made
exclusively for this camera. Do not use a rechargeable battery other than that
specified by Ricoh.
