Guidelines for the number of recordable pictures and operating time
The number of recordable pictures or available operating time may vary a\
ccording to 
surrounding environment and usage conditions. Figures may be reduced if \
flash, zoom, 
or other functions are used frequently, or in colder climates.
Number of recordable picturesApprox. 340 pictures
By CIPA  standard
Recording time Approx. 170 min
 
●Recording conditions by CIPA standard • CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging 
Products Association].
 
• [Program AE]  Mode
 • Temperature: 23 °C (73.4 °F)/Humidity:  50 %RH when LCD monitor is on.
∗ • Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (32 MB).
 • Using the supplied battery.  • Starting recording 30 seconds after the 
camera is turned on. (When the Optical 
Image Stabilizer function is set to [ON].)
 • Recording once every 30 seconds with full  flash every second recording.
 • Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or  vice versa in every recording.
 • Turning the camera off every 10 recordings  and leaving it until the temperature of the 
battery decreases.
∗  The number of recordable pictures decreases when [LCD Mode] is used.
Number reduced if intervals are longer – e.g. to approx. one quarter \
for 2-minute 
intervals under the above conditions.
Playback time  Approx. 300 minutes 
 
●The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery\
 usage. 
Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery h\
as not been 
used in some time.
 
●Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter. 
●Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after be\
ing charged. 
●Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 30 °C (50 °\
F - 86 °F)). 
●Keep any metal items (such as clips) away from the contact areas of th\
e power plug. 
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiti\
ng or the 
resulting heat generated.
 
●We do not recommend frequently charging the battery.
(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause b\
attery to 
expand.)
 
●Do not disassemble or modify the charger. 
●If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching\
 end of lifespan. 
Please purchase a new battery.
 
●The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power is supplied.
The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the battery charge\
r is connected to an 
electrical outlet.
 
●When charging:
 • Remove any dirt on connectors of charger and battery with dry cloth.
 • Keep at least 1 m (3.28 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference).
 • Noises may be emitted from inside of charger, but this is not a fault.
 • After charging, remove the charger from the wall socket, and then remove\
 the battery from the charger (up to 0.1 W consumed if left in place).
 
●Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. b\
y dropping (can 
cause faults).
