Continuous Play/Record Times
• The times noted are for reference purposes only, and do
not guarantee operation for the times noted.
• The times noted indicate the time it takes until loss of
power from a new fully-charged lithium ion rechargeable
battery being used for continuous operation under stan-
dard temperature (25
°
C). Times are made shorter by cold
temperatures and the number of times batteries have been
charged.
●
Continuous Record Time
• The time indicated is for continuous recording without
flash. Recording one image per minute under the above
conditions reduces battery life to about one sixth of that
noted above. The number of shots that can be recorded is
greatly affected by use of the flash and by how often power
is turned on and off.

Tips for Prolonging Battery Life
• When using the viewfinder to compose images, press the
DISP button a number of time until the monitor screen
turns off. Turning off the monitor screen uses less battery
power.
• Use the
button to turn off the flash when you are
not using it.
• You can also use the power save settings (E-46) to protect
against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off
the camera.

Battery Operation Time Guidelines
The table below shows the approximate amount of continu-
ous operation you can expect under normal temperature
(25
°
C) when the special lithium ion battery is fully charged.
Note that these values are approximations only, and do not
guarantee that you will be able to obtain such performance
from your battery.
IMPORTANT!
• Use only the BC-7LA AC Adapter/Charger to charge
the battery.
• Be sure to charge the lithium ion Rechargeable bat-
tery (NP-L7) before using it for the first time.
• The battery cannot be charged while it is installed in
the camera.
• The battery discharges naturally even when it is not
loaded in the camera. Be sure to charge a battery be-
fore using it to power the camera.
