(P21)
The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time.
If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures
decreases. [e.g. When recording once every 2 minutes, the number of recordable
pictures decreases to about 77.]
The number of recordable pictures and playback time will vary depending on the
operating conditions and storing condition of the battery.
∫ Charging
Charging time and number of recordable pictures with the optional battery pack
(DMW-BCE10E) are the same as above.
The charging time will vary slightly depending on the status of the battery and the
conditions in the charging environment.
When the charging has been completed successfully, the [CHARGE] indicator turns off.
Note
•
The battery may swell and its operating time may become shorter as the number of times it is
charged increases. For long term battery use, we recommend you do not frequently charge the
battery before it is exhausted.
•
The performance of the battery may temporarily deteriorate and the operating time may
become shorter in low temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/snowboarding).
