Battery life and number of images that can be recorded/viewed Enjoying the camera 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 batteries (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. • The battery capacity decreases as the number of uses increases and also over time (page 110). • The number of images that can be recorded/ viewed and the battery life are decreased under the following conditions: - The surrounding temperature is low. - The flash is used frequently. - The camera has been turned on and off many times. - The zoom is used frequently. - The brightness of LCD backlight (DSC-H5 only) or EVF backlight is set to up. - [AF Mode] is set to [Monitor] or [Continuous]. - [STEADY SHOT] is set to [Continuous]. - The battery power is low.

Battery life and number of images that can be
recorded/viewed
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 batteries (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.
The battery capacity decreases as the number of
uses increases and also over time (page 110).
The number of images that can be recorded/
viewed and the battery life are decreased under
the following conditions:
The surrounding temperature is low.
The flash is used frequently.
The camera has been turned on and off many
times.
The zoom is used frequently.
The brightness of
LCD backlight (DSC-H5
only) or EVF backlight is set to up.
[AF Mode] is set to [Monitor] or [Continuous].
[STEADY SHOT] is set to [Continuous].
The battery power is low.
When shooting still images
Shooting in the following situations:
(P.Quality) is set to [Fine].
[AF Mode] is set to [Single].
[STEADY SHOT] is set to [Shooting].
Shooting once every 30 seconds.
The zoom is switched alternately between the
W and T ends.
The flash strobes once every two times.
The power turns on and off once every ten
times.
The measurement method is based on the CIPA
standard.
(CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products
Association)
The number of shooting images/battery life does
not change, regardless of image size.
When viewing still images
Viewing single images in order at about three
second intervals
When shooting movies
