Power Supply and Battery
Z Battery Features
• The NP-70 gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a NP-70 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.
• To maximize the life of the NP-70, turn the camera off
as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
• The number of available frames will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-70.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the NP-70 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-70 directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-70 in cold conditions.
Z Charging the Battery
• You can charge the battery using the battery charger
(included).
• The NP-70 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
approx. 90 minutes to charge a fully depleted NP-70
battery.
• You should charge the NP-70 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-70 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because the
performance of the NP-70 is impaired.
• You cannot charge the NP-70 at temperatures of 0°C
(+32°F) or below.
• The NP-70 does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
• The NP-70 may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged NP-70.
Z Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the NP-70 can be used at least
300 times.
If the time for which the NP-70 provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-70 has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
Notes on the Battery (NP-70)
This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
NP-70. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to make sure that you use the battery
correctly.
* When shipped, the NP-70 is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-70 before using it.
• When carrying the NP-70, install it in a digital camera or
keep it in the soft case.
