Guide value

2battery charges

Battery in the camera + 1 spare battery – for example, the single battery.

A guide value, not a guarantee: based on approx. 540 shots using the viewfinder per battery charge (CIPA figure from Sony for the Alpha 68, a standardised comparison test) or approx. 130 minutes of video (CIPA, actual recording with image quality XAVC S 30p 50M/25p 50M). According to Sony, the actual runtime depends on the conditions of use; we have not measured these figures with Baxxtar batteries.
