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 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 or viewed 
take into account changing the “Memory 
Stick Duo” as necessary.
Note that the actual numbers may be less 
than those indicated in the table depending 
on the conditions of use.
• Battery capacity decreases as you use it more, as 
the time passes (page 106).

viewed and the battery life are decreased under 
the following conditions:
– The surrounding temperature is low.
