• These figures are based on PENTAX measuring conditions. They may vary by the capture mode
or shooting conditions.
• Battery performance decreases in low temperatures. In cold environments, it is recommended that
you carry extra batteries and keep them warm in your pocket. Battery performance will recover
when the surrounding temperature returns to normal.
• We do not recommend the use of AA alkaline batteries except in emergency situations as they may
not adequately handle all camera functions.
• When the camera and battery grip both have batteries, the power is drawn from the source with the
higher voltage extending overall battery life. Please note that nickel hydride batteries have a lower
voltage causing other batteries to be consumed first.
• The camera and battery grip can be used if there is a battery in at least one of them.
• Carry extra batteries with you when traveling overseas, taking pictures in cold environments or
taking a lot of pictures.
• See page 22 of the camera operating manual for selecting batteries according to the purpose.
