Battery life and number of images that can be
recorded/viewed
The tables show the approximate number of
images that can be recorded/viewed and the
battery life when you shoot images in
[Normal] mode with new batteries and at an
ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F). The
numbers of images that can be recorded or
viewed take into account changing the
“Memory Stick Duo” as necessary.
Note that the actual numbers may be less
than those indicated depending on the
conditions of use.
• The number of images that can be recorded/
viewed and the battery life are decreased under
the following conditions:
– The surrounding temperature is low.
– The flash is used frequently.
– The camera has been turned on and off many
times.
– The zoom is used frequently.
– [AF Mode] is set to [Monitor].
– The battery power is low.
When shooting still images
• Shooting in the following situations:
– (P.Quality) is set to [Fine].

– Shooting once every 30 seconds.
– The zoom is switched alternately between the

– The flash strobes once every two times.
– The power turns on and off once every ten
times.
• The measurement method is based on the CIPA
standard.
(CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products
Association)

not change, regardless of image size.
