For Your Safety
Power Supp ly and Batter y
* Confirm y our batter y type b efore read-
ing the follo wing descriptions .
The following explains proper use of
batteries and how to prolong their
life. Incorrect use of bat teries can
cause shor ter batter y life, as well as
leakage, e xcessive heat, fire or expl osion.
Camera uses the Rechargeable

Lithium-ion Ba
* When shipp ed, the bat tery is not
fully charged. Always charge the
battery before using it.
* When c arrying the bat tery, install it
in a digital camera or keep it in the
soft case.
■ Battery Features
• The battery gradually loses its
charge even when not used. Use
a batter y that has been charged
recently (in the last day or two) to
take pictures.
• To maximize the life of the bat tery,
turn the camera off as quickly as
possible when it is not being used.
• Th e number of availabl e frames will
be lower in cold locations or at low
temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged batter y. You can also
increase the am ount of power produced by put ting the battery in
your pocket or another warm place
to heat it and then loading it into
the camera just before you t ake a
picture.
ttery
vi
If you are using a heating pad, take
care not to place th e batter y directly against the pad. The camera
may not operate if you use a depleted bat tery in cold conditions.
■ Ch arging th e Batter y
• You can charge the battery using
the battery charger (included).
- The battery can b e charged
at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40 °C (+32°F
and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the time of charging
battery.
- You should charge the battery
at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F
and +95°F). If you charge the
batter y at a temperature outside
this range, charging takes longer
because the performance of the
battery is impaired.
- You cannot charge the battery
at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or
below.
• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before
being charged.
• The battery may feel warm after it
has been charged or immediately
after being used. This is p erfec tly
normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged
battery.
■ Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery can be used at least 300 times.
If the time for which the bat tery
provides power shortens markedly,
this indicates that the battery has
reached the end of its effective life
and should be replaced.
■ No tes on stora ge
• If a batter y is stored for lo ng periods
while charge d, the per formance of
the battery can be impaired. If the
battery will not be used for some
time, run the battery out before
storing it.
• If you do not intend to use the
camera for a long perio d of time,
remove the bat tery from the camera.
• Store the batter y in a cool place.
- The batter y should b e stored in
a dry location with an ambient
temperature b etween +15°C and
+25°C (+59°F and +77°F).
- Do not leave the batter y in hot or
extrem ely cold places.
■ Ha ndling th e Battery
Cauti ons for Your Sa fety:
• Do not carry or store bat tery with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not heat the batter y or throw it
into a fire.
• Do not attempt to take apart or
change the battery.
• Do not recharge the battery with
chargers other those spe cified.
• Dispose of used battery promptly.
• Do not drop the bat tery or otherwise subjec t it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose the batter y to water.
• Always keep the battery terminals
clean.
• Do not store bat teries in hot p laces. Also, if you use the batter y for
a long period, the camera body
and the bat tery itself will become
warm. This is n ormal. Use th e AC
power adapter if you are taking
pictures or viewing images for a
long period of time.
Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH
2
(nick
el-metal hydride) rechargeable
batteries
* For details on the bat teries that
you can use, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camer a.
■ C autions fo r Using Batt ery
• Do not heat the batteries or throw
them into a fire.
• Do not carr y or store batteries with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep bat teries from get ting
wet or stored in moist locations.
• Do not attempt to take apart or
change the batteries, including
battery casings.
• Do not subjec t the batteries to
strong impacts.
• D o not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.
For Your Safety
CAUTION
• Do not store batteries in warm or
humid places.
• Keep the batteries out of reach of
babies and small children.
• Make sure that the battery polarity
(C and D) is correct.
• Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use charged and discharged bat teries together.
• Do not use different t ypes or
brands of bat teries at the same
time.
• If you do not intend to use the
camera for a long perio d of time,
remove the bat teries from the
camera. Note if the camer a is left
with the batteries removed, the
time and date set tings are cleared.
• The batteries feel warm right after being used. Before removing
the batteries, turn th e camera of f
and wait for the batteries to cool
down.
• Since batteries do not work well in
cold weather or locations, warm
the batteries by placing them inside your garments before use.
Batteries do not work well when
cold. They will work again when
the temperature returns to nor mal.
• Soil (such as fingerprints) on the
batter y terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the
number of images. Carefully wipe
the battery terminals with a sof t
dry cloth b efore loading.
If any liquid at all leaks from
the batteries, wipe the battery
compartment thoroughly and
then load new batteries.
If any batter y fluid comes into
contact with your hands or
clothing, f lush the area thoroughly with water. Note that
battery fluid can c ause loss
of eyesight if it gets into your
eyes. If this occurs, do not rub
your eyes. Flush the fluid out
with clean water and contact
your physician for treatment.
■ Us ing the AA-s ize Ni-MH bat teries
correctly
• Ni-MH batteries left unused in
storage for long periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH bat teries
that are only par tially discharged
can cause them to suffer from the
“memory effec t”. Ni-MH bat teries
that are “deactivate d” or affected
by “memory” suffer from the problem of only providing power for a
short time after being charged. To
prevent this problem, discharge
and recharge them several times
using the camera’s “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function.
Deactivation and memory are spe-
cific to Ni- MH batteries and are not
in fact battery faults.
See Owner’s Manual for the proce-
dure for “Discharging rechargea ble
batteries”.
CAUTION
Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function when
alkaline bat teries being used.
• To charge Ni-MH b atteries, use the
quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to th e instruc tions
supplied with the charger to make
sure that the charger is used correctly.
• Do not use the bat tery charger to
charge other batteries .
• Note that the batteries feel warm
after being charged.
• Due to the way the camera is construc ted, a small amount of current
is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that
leaving Ni-MH batteries in the
camera for a long perio d will overdischarge the batteries and may
render them unusable even after
recharging.
• Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge
even when not use d, and the time
for which they can be used may b e
shortened as a result.
• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate
rapidly if over-discharged (e.g.
by discharging th e batteries in a
flashlig ht). Use the “D ischarging rechargeable batteries” function provided in the camera to discharge
the batteries.
• Ni-MH batteries have a limited
service life. If a battery can only
be used for a short time even after
repeated discharge-charge cycles,
it may have reached the end of its
service life.
■ Disposing of Batteries
• When disposing of batteries, do
so in accordance with your local
waste disposal regulations.
