(Recording conditions by CIPA standards)
• Temperature: 73.4°F (23°C)/
Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.
• Using SD Memory Card (supplied:32 MB).
• Using the supplied battery.
• Recording starts 30 seconds after the
camera is turned on.
• Record once every 30 seconds, with full
flash every other recording.
• Rotating the zoom lever towards Tele to
Wide and vice versa in every recording.

Leaving the camera until the battery is
cooled down.
Note: When the Power LCD function (P28)
is used, the number of recordable
pictures decreases.
The actual number of pictures you can take
depends on the interval you leave between
shooting. The number of shots reduces
proportionately to the interval you leave.
• So for example if you leave 2 minutes
between each shot instead of the 30-
seconds given in the conditions above,
then the number of shots reduce to a
quarter (Approx. 60 pictures).

• The performance of the battery may be
temporarily deteriorated and the
operating time may become shorter in low
temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/
snowboarding).
