tery, keep it in the hard case. When discarding, cover
the battery terminals with insulation tape. Contact
with other metallic objects or batteries could

Note: Check the type of battery used in your camera and
read the appropriate sections.

The following describes the proper use of batteries and how
to prolong their life. Incorrect use can shorten battery life or
cause leakage, overheating, ﬁ re, or explosion.

Li-ion Batteries

Li-ion battery.

The battery is not charged at shipment. Charge the battery
before use. Keep the battery in its case when not in use.

■ Notes on the Battery
The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use.
Charge the battery one or two days before use.

Battery life can be extended by turning the camera oﬀ when
not in use.

Battery capacity decreases at low temperatures; a depleted
battery may not function at when cold. Keep a fully charged
spare battery in a warm place and exchange as necessary,
or keep the battery in your pocket or other warm place and
insert it in the camera only when shooting. Do not place
the battery in direct contact with hand warmers or other
heating devices.

ing times will increase at ambient temperatures below
+10 °C (+50 °F) or above +35 °C (+95 °F). Do not attempt
to charge the battery at temperatures above 40 °C (+104 °F);
at temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the battery will not
