• The still picture storage capacity is based on measuring conditions in
accordance with CIPA standards and the movie recording time and playback
time are based on PENTAX measuring conditions. Some deviation from the
above figures may occur in actual use depending on shooting mode and
shooting conditions.
• In general, battery performance temporarily deteriorates as the
temperature decreases. When using the camera in a cold
environment, keep it warm by putting it in your pocket or inside
your coat. Battery performance that has deteriorated due to low
temperature will be restored when the battery is returned to room
temperature.
• Be sure to take a spare battery with you when traveling abroad or
to a cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.
