h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those
specified.
h Dispose of used batteries promptly.
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its
life, observe the following:
h Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts.
h Do not immerse the battery in water.
To ensure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:
h Always keep the battery terminals clean.
h Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the
battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten
the battery life.
If you use the battery for a long period, the camera
body and the battery itself will become warm. This is
normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power
adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking
pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

Nominal capacity 1035mAh
Operating temperature 0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104°F)
Dimensions
35.2 mm × 53 mm × 7.0 mm
(1.39 in. × 2.1 in. × 0.28 in.)
(W × H × D)
Mass (Weight) Approx. 30g (1.05 oz.)
✽ These specifications are subject to change without notice.
■ Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the NP-60 can be used at
least 300 times.
If the time for which the NP-60 provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-60 has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
Lithium-ion Battery Pack NP-60 is both compact and
capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if
It is stored for long periods while charged, the
performance of the battery can be impaired.
h
If the battery will not be used for some time, run the
battery flat before storing it.
h Always remove the battery from the camera or battery
charger when it is not being used.
h Place the battery pack inside the soft case and store
in a cool place.
✽The battery should be stored in a dry location with an
ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C
(+59°F and +77°F).
✽Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.
■ Handling the Battery
To avoid injury or damage, observe the following:
h Do not allow the metal portions of the battery to touch
other metal objects.
h Do not bring the battery close to a flame or throw it
into a fire.
h Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
Notes on storage
This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
Pack NP-60. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly.
✽When shipped, the NP-60 is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-60 before using it.
h When carrying the NP-
60, install it in a digital
camera or keep it in the
soft case.
h When storing the NP-60,
place it inside the special
soft case provided.
■ Battery Features
h The NP-60 gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a NP-60 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.
h To maximize the life of the NP-60, switch the camera
off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
h The number of available shots will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-60.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the NP-60 in your pocket or another warm
place to heat it and then loading it into the camera
just before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the
NP-60 directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-60 in cold conditions.
Notes on Using the Battery (NP-60)
Notes on the Power Supply
■ Charging the Battery
h You can charge the NP-60 using the AC Power
Adapter AC-5VS/AC-5VHS.
• The NP-60 can be charged at ambient temperatures
between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an
ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes
approximately 5 hours to charge a fully depleted
NP-60 battery.
• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
• You cannot charge the NP-60 at temperatures of
0°C (+32°F) or below.
h You can also use the optional BC-60 Battery Charger
to charge the NP-60.
• The NP-60 can be charged using the BC-60 Battery
Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and
+40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient
temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately
2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.
• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
h The NP-60 does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
h The NP-60 may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
h Do not recharge a fully charged NP-60.
