Notes on Battery Usage
When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions
and the notes described below:
Use only the specified batteries.
Avoid extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and
reduce camera performance. Therefore Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are highly
recommended.
When you are using a new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that has not
been used for an extended period of time (the battery that passed the expiry date is an
exception), it may affect the number of images that can be captured. Therefore, to
maximize its performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the battery
and discharge it for at least one complete cycle before use.
The batteries may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of the camera or the
flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.
The camera may feel warm after a long period of continuous use. This is normal and not
a malfunction.
If the batteries are not to be used for a long period of time, remove them from the camera
to prevent leakage or corrosion and store them after no battery power is left. Stored for a
long time in a fully charged condition, their performance may be impaired.
Always keep the battery terminals clean.
There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle instructions.
We recommend charging the rechargeable batteries for 8 hours before the camera’s first
use.
