Charging times may vary depending on the discharge state of the battery and other conditions. Charging may take longer in extreme temperatures or if the battery has not been used for a long period of time.
Preparation Charging the Battery Estimated number of recordable pictures and operating time The number of recordable stills is based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. When an SDHC memory card and the supplied battery are used. ■■Recording stills (using the monitor) Number of recordable pictures Approx. 440 pictures Recording time Approx. 220 min. ■■Recording stills (using the viewfinder (EVF)) The values in parentheses apply when [EVF Display Speed] is set to [ECO 30fps].
