Storage capacity of shots ---------------------------------------------------------------------
• Approximate storage capacity of shots you can take
*1
Approximately 350 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.
*2
Approximately 50 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.
• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on, 30
seconds between shots, 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 Panasonic AAA alkaline batteries.
• The storage capacity 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. For long periods of use, it is recommended that you carry spare batteries.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The nickel-metal hydride batteries available in stores are not factory-charged.
Charge them before use.
• The nickel-metal hydride 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 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.
• Please 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.
