Power Requirements

Q3
What is the life of the batteries that come with the camera?
A3
The battery life guideline values given below indicate the approximate amount of time at a standard temperature of 23°C (73°F) until power automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not guarantee that the batteries will provide the amount of service indicated. Low temperatures and continued use reduce battery life.
Number of Shots (CIPA )(Operating Time) *1 180 shots
Continuous Playback (Snapshots) *2 3 hours 40 minutes
Approximate continuous movie recording time *3 1 hour 20 minutes
Continuous Voice Recording *4 3 hours 30 minutes

Battery: NP-120 (Rated Capacity: 600mAh)
Recording Medium: 16GB SDHC memory card (SanDisk Corporation)
Measurement Conditions

*1 Approximate number of shots (CIPA) (Operating Time)
In accordance with CIPA (Camera and Imaging Products Association) standards
Normal temperature (23°C (73°F)), monitor on, zoom operation between full wide and full telephoto every 30 seconds, during which two images are shot with flash; power turned off and back on every time 10 images are shot.
*2 Approximate playback time
Standard temperature (23°C (73°F)), one-image scroll approximately every 10 seconds
*3 Approximate time for a repeated cycle of 10 minutes recording followed by deletion of the recorded file.
*4 Approximate continuous recording time
 
The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge.
Repeated charging shortens battery life.
Frequency of flash, zoom, and Auto Focus usage, and the time the camera is on greatly affects recording time and number of shots values.
