The indication turns red and blinks:
Recharge or replace the battery.
The lifetime of the battery
The number of recordable pictures by CIPA
standards (In Programme AE mode)
• CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera &
Imaging Products Association].
(Recording conditions by CIPA standards)
• Temperature: 23°C/
Humidity: 50% when LCD monitor is on.
• Using SD Memory Card (supplied: 64 MB).
• Using the supplied battery.
• Recording starts 30 seconds after the
camera is turned on.
•
Record once every 30 seconds,
with full
flash every other recording.
• Rotating the zoom lever towards Tele to
Wide and vice versa in every recording.
• Turn the camera off every 10 recordings./
Leaving the camera until the battery is
cooled down.
Note:When the Power LCD function (P28)
is used, the number of recordable
pictures decreases.
Playback time
The number of recordable pictures and
playback time will vary depending on the
operating conditions and storing condition
of the battery.
Charging
• When charging starts, the [CHARGE]
indicator lights.
Charging error
• If the [CHARGE] indicator blinks at
approximately 1-second intervals during
charging, a charging error has occurred.
In this case, disconnect the AC mains
lead from the electrical outlet, detach the
battery and then make sure both room
and battery temperature are not too low or
high. If the room temperature is between
10°C to 35°C, recharge the battery. If the
[CHARGE] indicator still blinks even if you
charge the battery for a while, consult
your Leica dealer.
• When the operating time of the camera
becomes extremely short even if the
battery is properly charged, the life of the
battery may have expired. Buy a new
battery.
Charging conditions
• Charge the battery under temperature of
10°C to 35°C.
• The performance of the battery may be
temporarily deteriorated and the
operating time may become shorter in low
temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/
snowboarding).
Number of
recordable pictures
Approx.
48
0 pictures
(Approx.
24
0 min.)
The actual number of pictures you can take
depends on the interval you leave between
shooting. The number of shots reduces
proportionately to the interval you leave.
• So for example if you leave 2 minutes
between each shot instead of the 30-
seconds given in the conditions above,
then the number of shots reduce to a
quarter (Approx. 60 pictures).
Playback time
Approx. 300 min.
Charging time
Approx. 130 min.
