Approximate Number of Shots That Can Be Taken
* The number of shots that can be taken is based on the Camera & Imaging Products
Association (CIPA) measurement standard.
• Under some shooting conditions, fewer shots can be taken.
• Depending on the brand of alkaline batteries used, the number of shots that can be
taken may vary widely.
• The values for NiMH batteries are based on fully charged batteries.
Compatible Batteries

(pp. 36 , 38) .
We cannot recommend the use of any other batteries than those listed above

NiMH batteries last much longer than alkaline batteries, especially in cold
weather.
