About the Battery
∫ Battery indication
The remaining battery power appears on 
the screen. [It does not appear when you 
use the camera along with the AC adaptor 
(DMW-CAC2; optional).]
>
The indication turns red and blinks:
Recharge or replace the battery.
When the LCD monitor is set to off by the 
economy mode, the status indicator blinks. 
∫ The lifetime of the battery
The number of recordable pictures by 
CIPA standards
• CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & 
Imaging Products Association].
(Recording conditions by CIPA standards)
• Temperature: 73.4°F (23°C)/
Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.
• Using SD Memory Card (supplied: 16MB).
• Using the supplied battery.
• Recording starts 30 seconds after the 
camera is turned on.
• Record once every 30 seconds, with full 
flash every other recording.
• Rotating the zoom lever towards Tele to 
Wide and vice versa in every recording.
• Turn the camera off every 10 recordings.
Note:When the Power LCD function (P25) 
is used, the number of recordable 
pictures decreases. 
Playback time
The number of recordable pictures and 
playback time will vary depending on the 
operating conditions and storing condition 
of the battery.
∫ Charging
Charging time and the number of 
recordable pictures with the optional 
battery pack (CGA-S004A) are the same 
as the above.
• When charging starts, the [CHARGE] 
indicator lights. 
∫ Charging error
• If the [CHARGE] indicator is blinking, this 
is a charging error. In this case, 
disconnect the charger from the electrical 
outlet, detach the battery and then make 
sure both room and battery temperature 
are not too low or high. If the room 
temperature is between 50
oF – 95oF 
(10
oC – 35oC), recharge the battery. If the 
[CHARGE] indicator does not turn off 
properly and still starts blinking after you 
completed recharging the battery, consult 
the dealer.
• When the operating time of the camera 
becomes extremely short even if the 
battery is properly charged, the life of the 
battery may have expired. Buy a new 
battery. 
∫ Charging conditions
• Charge the battery under temperature of 
50
oF – 95oF (10oC – 35oC). (Battery 
temperature should be the same also.)
• The performance of the battery may be 
temporarily deteriorated and the operating 
time may become shorter in low 
temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/
snowboarding).
