Effective use of the battery pack
• Battery performance decreases in
low-temperature surroundings. So,
the time that the battery pack can be
used is shorter in cold places. We
recommend the following to use the
battery pack longer:
— Putthebatterypackinapocket
closetoyourbodytowarmitup,
and insert it in your camera
immediately before you start
taking shots.
— Usethelargecapacitybattery
pack (NP-F550, optional).
• Frequently using the LCD panel or
frequently operating the zoom wears
out the battery pack faster. We
recommend using the large capacity
battery pack (NP-F550, optional).
• BecertaintoturnthePOWERswitch
to off when not taking shots or
playingbackonyourcamera.
• We recommend have spare batteries
handy for two or three times the
expected shooting time, and make a
trial shots before taking the actual
shots.
• Do not expose the battery pack to
water. The battery pack is not water-
resistant.
Remaining battery time indicator
• If the power goes off although the
battery remaining indicator indicates
that the battery pack has enough
power to operate, charge the battery
pack fully again so that the indication
on the battery remaining indicator is
correct. Note, however, that the
correct battery indication sometimes
will not be restored if it is used in
high temperatures for a long time or
left in a fully charged state, or the
battery pack is frequently used.
Regard the remaining battery time
indication as the approximate
shooting time.
• The
E
mark indicating there is little
remaining battery time sometimes
flashes depending on the operating
conditions or ambient temperature
and environment even if the
remaining battery time is 5 to 10
minutes.
How to store the battery pack
• Even if the battery pack is not used
for a long time, store it in a dry, cool
place after fully charging it once per
year and then using the battery pack
up on your camera. This is to
maintain the battery pack’s functions.
• Tousethebatterypackuponyour
camera, leave the POWER switch to
on in PLAY mode until the power
goes off without a floppy disk or a
“Memory Stick” inserted.
Battery life
• The battery life is limited. Battery
capacity decreases little by little as
you use it more and more, and as
time passes. When the battery
operating time is shortened
considerably, a probable cause is that
the battery pack has reached the end
of its life. Please buy a new battery
pack.
• The battery life varies according to
how it is stored and operating
conditions and environment for each
battery pack.
