battery life when you shoot images in 
[Normal] mode with the batteries (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 depending on the 
conditions of use.
• The battery capacity decreases as the number of 
uses increases and also over time (page 110).

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