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 batteries 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” 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 93).

viewed and the battery life are decreased under 
the following conditions:
