About the Battery

This camera uses the Rechargeable Battery
DB-70, a dedicated lithium-ion battery supplied
with the camera. It is economical because you
can recharge it using the battery charger and
use it over and over again.
Number of shots you can take ---------------------------------------------------------------
Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 270
• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on, 30
seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-angle or
wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after
each 10 shots).
• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can
take. (GP.59)
• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of
time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.
If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we recommend carrying a
spare battery.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off
and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.
• Please remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of
time.
• When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium-ion
battery (DB-70). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
