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, picture display 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).
• The storage capacity of shots when using AAA alkaline batteries is based on the use
of AAA alkaline batteries manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd.
• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can
take. (GP.57)
• 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.
If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we recommend carrying a
spare battery.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The nickel-hydrogen batteries available in stores are not factory-charged. Charge
them before use.
• 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 AAA alkaline battery depends on the brand and the storage time from
the date of production. In addition, the life of an AAA alkaline battery becomes
shorter at low temperatures.
• Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell and Ni-Cd batteries, 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.
• Remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of time.
• When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium-ion
battery (DB-60). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
