Number of images and battery
life that can be recorded/
viewed
The tables show the approximate number of
images and the battery life that can be recorded/
viewed when you shoot images in normal mode
with a fully charged battery pack at a temperature
of 25°C (77°F). The numbers of images that can
be recorded or viewed take into account changing
the optional “Memory Stick” or Microdrive as
necessary. Note that the actual numbers may be
less than indicated depending on the conditions of
use.

The number of images and the battery life that
can be recorded/viewed are decreased under the
following conditions:
–
The surrounding temperature is low
–
The flash is used
–
The camera has been turned on and off many
times
–
The zoom is used frequently
–
The NightShot or NightFraming function is
activated
–
[LCD Backlight] or [EVF Backlight] is set to
[Bright] in the SET UP settings
–
The battery power is low.
The battery capacity decreases as you use it
more and more and as time passes
(page 147).
•
The battery life and the number of images
recordable or viewable does not depend on the
image size setting.
•
The number of images is almost the same
whether you use the finder or the LCD screen
for shooting/viewing images.
•
When using a CF card, the battery life and the
number of images recordable or viewable may
differ.
