Recording motion pictures (When using the LCD monitor/Viewfinder)

• These are standard times taken at a temperature of 23

C (73.4

F) and a humidity of 50%.

• The time available for recording varies depending on the environment, the interval

between recordings, and the manner of use.

• Actual recordable time is the time available for recording when repeating actions such as

switching the power supply [ON] / [OFF], starting/stopping recording, zoom operation etc.

Motion picture recorded continuously in [MOTION JPEG] is up to 2 GB. Only the maximum
recordable time for 2 GB is displayed on the screen.

∫

Playback (When using the LCD monitor/Viewfinder)

The number of recordable pictures and playback time will vary depending on the operating
conditions and storing condition of the battery.

Note

• The battery may swell and its operating time may become shorter as the number of times it is

charged increases. For long term battery use, we recommend you do not frequently charge the

battery before it is exhausted.

• The performance of the battery may temporarily deteriorate and the operating time may

become shorter in low temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/snowboarding).
