Battery remaining indicator
(When using the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries)
As the battery power decreases with use, the
battery remaining indicator displays the
amount of power remaining using the
following symbols.
• If the LCD screen is off, press to turn it
on.
• Based on the conditions under which the
camera is being used and the state of the
charge, or on the environment, this information
may not be correctly indicated.
• When the AC Adaptor (not supplied) is being
used, the remaining battery information is not
displayed.
The Power Save function
When the Power Save function is set to On,
you can shoot for a longer period of time.
Turn the mode selector to SET UP, and set
[Power Save] in Setup 1 to [On]. The
factory setting of the camera is set to [On]
(page 107).
We recommend that you set [Power Save]
to [On] when using alkaline batteries.
When the Power Save function is On
• In shooting still images, the focus only focuses
when the shutter is pushed down halfway.
• While charging the flash, the lamp flashes
and the LCD screen is turned off. After the
flash is completely charged, the LCD screen
turns on.
Battery life and the number of
images that can be recorded/
played back
The tables show approximate guidelines for the
length of time the camera can be used when you
shoot in Normal mode in an environment where the
ambient temperature is 25°C (77°F), and the batteries
are fully charged. The guidelines for the number of
images that can be recorded or played back allow for
changing the supplied “Memory Stick” as necessary.
Actual results may differ slightly from these,
depending on the conditions of use.
