• Starting recording 30 seconds after the 
camera is turned on. (When the optical 
image stabilizer function is set to 
[MODE1].)
• Recording once every 30 seconds with 
full flash every second recording.
• Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide 
or vice versa in every recording.
• Turning the camera off every 
10 recordings and leaving it until the 
temperature of the battery decreases.
¢ The number of recordable pictures 
decreases in Auto power LCD mode, 
Power LCD mode and High angle 
mode (P39).
• CIPA is an abbreviation of 
[Camera & Imaging Products 
Association].
The number of recordable pictures 
when using the Viewfinder
(Recording conditions comply with CIPA 
standard.)
Playback time when using the LCD 
monitor
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 number of recordable 
pictures with the optional battery pack 
(CGR-S006A) are the same as above.
• The [CHARGE] indicator lights when 
charging starts.
∫ When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes
• The battery is over discharged 
(discharged excessively). In a while, 
[CHARGE] indicator will light up and 
normal charging will start.
• The battery temperature is excessively 
high or low. The charging time will be 
longer than normal. Also, charging may 
not be completed.
• The terminals of the charger or the battery 
are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry 
cloth.
• When the operating time of the camera 
becomes extremely short even after 
properly charging the battery, the life of 
the battery may have expired. Buy a new 
battery. 
∫ Charging conditions
• Charge the battery in a temperature 
between 10
oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF). 
(The battery temperature should also be 
the same.)
• The performance of the battery may 
temporarily deteriorate and the operating 
time may become shorter in low 
temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/
snowboarding).
• The battery may swell and its operating 
time may become shorter as the number 
of times it is charged increases. For long 
term battery use, we recommend you do 
not frequently charge the battery before it 
is exhausted.
The number of recordable pictures 
varies depending on the recording 
interval time.
If the recording interval time becomes 
longer, the number of recordable 
pictures decreases.
[e.g. When recording once every 
2 minutes, the number of recordable 
pictures decreases to about 100.]
