The tables show the approximate number of
images that can be recorded/viewed and the
battery life when you shoot images in
[Normal] mode with the battery pack
(supplied) at full capacity and at an ambient
temperature of 25°C (77°F). The numbers
of images that can be recorded or viewed
take into account changing the “Memory
Stick Duo” as necessary.
Note that the actual numbers may be less
than those indicated depending on the
conditions of use.
