• This is a guideline that includes time for operations such as starting and stopping the recording, turning the power on and off, and zooming. The actual time is shorter.
* When shooting for an extended period of time, make sure that you allow yourself enough battery power to last 3 to 4 times the amount of time you plan on shooting. The continuous battery-powered shooting time varies depending on the usage conditions, e.g., when shooting in low temperatures. See the above Battery Life chart for information on the continuous battery-powered shooting time.
