The Battery and Power Supply
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 Batteries
Read this section if your camera uses a rechargeable 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 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 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.
■ ■ Charging the Battery Charging the Battery
Charge the battery in the supplied battery charger. Charging
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 tem-
peratures below +5 °C (+41 °F), the battery will not charge.
Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged battery. The bat-
tery does not however need to be fully discharged before
charging.
The battery may be warm to the touch immediately after
charging or use. This is normal.
■ ■ Battery Life Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery can be recharged about
300 times. A noticeable decrease in the length of time the
battery will hold a charge indicates that it has reached the
end of its service life and should be replaced.
■ ■ Storage Storage
Performance may be impaired if the battery is left unused
for extended periods when fully charged. Run the battery
fl at before storing it.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, re-
move the battery and store it in a dry place with an ambient
temperature of from +15 °C to +25 °C (+59 °F to +77 °F). Do
not store in locations exposed to extremes of temperature.
