The number of images that can be recorded 
when using the battery pack
The table shows the approximate number of 
images that can be recorded when you use 
the camera with the battery pack (supplied) 
at full capacity and at an ambient 
temperature of 25°C (77°F). The numbers 
of images that can be recorded take into 
account changing the memory card as 
necessary.
Note that the actual numbers may be less 
than those indicated depending on the 
conditions of use.
• Shooting in the following situations:
– [Quality] is set to [Fine].
– Focus mode is set to AF-A (Automatic AF).
– Shooting once every 30 seconds.
– 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)
• The number of shooting images does not 
change, regardless of image size.
• The battery capacity decreases as the number of 
uses increases and also over time (page 163).
• The number of images that can be recorded is 
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.
– Focus mode is set to AF-C (Continuous AF).
– The battery power is low.

recordable may differ.
