Camera User Guide Caplio GX100, Caplio GX100 VF KIT

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.

Number of shots you can take ---------------------------------------------------------------

• Approximate number of shots you can take on a single battery charge

*1 Approximately 290 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.

*2 Approximately 25 shots can be taken when using the LCD viewfinder.

• Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, LCD monitor on, 30

seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-angle or

wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after

each 10 shots).

• The number of shots when using AAA alkaline batteries is based on the use of AAA

alkaline batteries manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd.

• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of

time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.

Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• The nickel-hydrogen batteries available in stores are not factory-charged. Charge

them before use.

• The nickel-hydrogen batteries may be inert and consequently may not supply power

immediately after they are purchased or when left unused for more than a month. In

such a case, recharge the batteries two or three times before use. The batteries self-

discharge with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge them before use.

• The life of an AAA alkaline battery depends on the brand and the storage time from

the date of production. In addition, the life of an alkaline battery becomes shorter at

low temperatures.

• Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell and Ni-Cd batteries, cannot be used.

• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off

and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.

• Please remove the batteries if you are not going to use the camera for a long period

of time.

• When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium-ion

battery (DB-60). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
