A guide value, not a guarantee: based on approx. 690 shots using the viewfinder per battery charge (CIPA figure from Sony for the Alpha 58, a standardised comparison test) or approx. 160 minutes of video (actual recording (alternating recording, zooming, standby, switching on/off), according to Sony Japan).
