• Approximate Operating Time (when the D-LI8 battery is fully
charged)
Number of recordable images: Approx. 100 (at 23°C with the LCD

shots, based on the CIPA standard.)
Playback time: Approx. 130 min.
(based on PENTAX measuring
conditions.)
• The above figures may vary according to the conditions in which the
camera is used.
• Battery Level Indicator
You can check the battery level by the
#
symbol on the LCD monitor.
• Always charge the battery before using the camera for the first
time or when the battery has not been used for an extended period
of time.
• Do not use the D-BC23 battery charging stand to charge batteries
other than D-LI8 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, as the charger
may overheat or be damaged as a result.
• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to
blink, the battery may be faulty. Replace with a new battery.
• In general, battery performance temporarily deteriorates as the
temperature decreases. When using the camera in a cold
environment, keep it warm by putting it in your pocket or inside
your coat. Battery performance that has deteriorated due to low
temperature will be restored when the battery is returned to room
temperature.
• Be sure to take a spare battery with you when traveling abroad or
to a cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.
