 Note
• 
The operating time and the number of recordable pictures vary depending on the 
camera’s environment or using conditions.
For example, the operating time and the recordable pictures are reduced when;
 
– you are in low temperature areas such as on ski slopes
 
– Auto Power LCD Mode, Power LCD Mode or High Angle Mode 
 
– the flash or the zoom operation is frequently used.
• 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.
