Guidelines for the number of recordable pictures and recording time
Figures may be reduced if flash, zoom, or [LCD MODE] are used frequently; or in colder
climates.
Number of recordable pictures Approx. 300 pictures
By CIPA standard
Recording time Approx. 150 min
●
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
• CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].
• [NORMAL PICTURE] Mode.
• Temperature: 23 °C/Humidity: 50 %RH when LCD monitor is on.
•
Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).
• Using the supplied battery.
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the Optical
Image Stabilizer function is set to [AUTO].)
• Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.
• Perform a zoom operation every recording (W end → T end, or T end → W end)
• Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the
battery decreases.
Number reduced if intervals are longer – e.g. to approx. one quarter (75 pictures) for
2-minute intervals under the above conditions.
Playback time Approx. 260 min
The number of recordable pictures or available recording time may vary slightly according
to battery and usage conditions.
●
The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage.
Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been
used in some time.
●
The number of recordable pictures and the recording time are reduced in the following
cases.
• In cold environments or at low temperatures
∗
• When using [AUTO POWER LCD] or [POWER LCD]
∗
A ghost images may appear on the LCD monitor when using the camera in cold environments or
at low temperatures. The battery performance may also drop. Keep the camera and spare battery
warm by placing them in a warm place, such as inside your thermal gear or clothes. The reduced
performance of the battery or LCD monitor will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
●
Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.
●
Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.
●
Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C to 30 °C).
●
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or resulting
heat generated.
●
Frequently charging battery is not recommended.
(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to
expand.)
●
Do not disassemble or modify the charger.
●
If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan.
Please purchase a new battery.
●
The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power is supplied.
The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the battery charger is connected to an
electrical outlet.
●
When charging:
• Remove any dirt on connectors of charger and battery with dry cloth.
• Keep at least 1 m (3.28 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference).
• Noises may be emitted from inside of charger, but this is not a fault.
• Remove charger from wall socket after charging (up to 0.1 W consumed if left in
place).
●
Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can
cause faults).
