Battery life

BLS-1

The battery of this camera can last up to 500 shots per charge with the included BLS-1 battery. Consider that this value can fluctuate and depends on the mAh of the battery (sometimes generic batteries have more mAh) and also on the usage, the amount of time you use the screen, the flash, etc.
