Battery Life
We have tested the following batteries under normal and extreme operating conditions. The following operating
times are averages and can vary depending on age of battery, temperature and other factors.
Normal conditions (designed to simulate operating conditions when scuba diving):
1. Turn camera on, take a test picture. Set to Sea Mode. Put in housing, close housing.
2. 90 minutes later: Turn power on. Take three pictures on land. 10 Minutes later: Take pictures underwater for 45
Minutes, not continuously, but every 2 Minutes, =23 pictures.
3. Wait for 1 hour, then take 20 underwater pictures in 40 Minutes.
4. Wait for 2 hours, then repeat step 2 and step 3.
5. Then repeat 3.
Extreme conditions (designed to test the power consumption in the most extreme operating conditions.)
1. Turn camera on, Set to External FLASH mode. Put in housing, close housing.
2. Take picture intervals as quickly as possible (display always ON, FLASH always fires)
