• Image Storage Capacity, Movie Recording Time, Sound
Recording Time, and Playback Time
(at 23°C with the display on and the battery fully charged)
*1 Image Storage Capacity shows the approximate number of shots
recorded during CIPA-compliant testing (with display on, flash used for
50% of the shots, and 23 degrees centigrade). Actual performance may
vary according to operating conditions.
*2 According to the result of in-house testing.
• Do not use the power adapter D-PA116 to charge batteries other than
the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI78, as the adapter may
overheat or be damaged.
• Make sure that the battery has been inserted correctly and the cable
is connected properly if the self-timer lamp blinks.
• Replace the battery with a new one in the following cases:
- If the battery starts to run down more quickly (the battery may have
reached the end of its service life)
- If the self-timer lamp does not light or blinks even after being
charged (the battery may be faulty)
• The time required to fully charge the battery is about 140 minutes
(max.). (The charging time may vary depending on the ambient
temperature and charging conditions.) The appropriate ambient
temperature for charging the battery is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI78 can also be charged using
the optional battery charger D-BC78.
• Do not attempt to charge the battery by connecting the USB cable to
a computer, etc.
