For Your Safety
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
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
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 o 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.
■ 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 temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the battery will not charge.
Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged battery. The battery 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
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
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, remove 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.
■ Cautions: Handling the Battery
•Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
•Do not expose to fl ame or heat.
•Do not disassemble or modify.
•Use with designated chargers only.
•Do not drop or subject to strong physical shocks.
•Do not expose to water.
•Keep the terminals clean.
•The battery and camera body may become warm to the touch after extended use. This is normal.
AAAlkaline/Rechargeable NiMH Batteries
Read this section if your camera uses AA alkaline or rechargeable AA NiMH batteries. Information on compatible battery types may be found elsewhere in the camera manual.
■ Cautions: Handling the Batteries
•Do not expose to water, fl ame, or heat, or store in warm or humid conditions.
•Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
•Do not disassemble or modify the batteries or battery casing.
•Do not subject to strong physical shocks.
