For Your Safety

Power Supp ly and Batter y

* Confirm your batter y typ e before 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 gra dually 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 take a picture.

ttery

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

• 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 4 0 °C (+104 °F); at temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the battery will not charge.

• 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 ef fective life and should be replaced.

■ No tes on stora ge

• If a battery is stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the batter y can be impaired. If the battery will not be used for som e time, run the batter y 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 bat tery 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 places. Also, if you use the batter y for a long period, the camera body and the bat tery itself will be come warm. This is n ormal. Use the AC power adapter if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

Camera uses AA Alkaline,

Rechargeable Ni-MH (nick hydride) or AA lithium batteries

* For details on the batteries 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 subject the batteries to strong impacts.

• D o not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.

• 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 polarit y (C and D) is correct.

el-metal

For Your Safety

CAUTION

CAUTION:

• Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use charged and discharged bat teries together.

• Do not use different types 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 camera 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 temperat ure returns to normal.

• 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 thorou ghly 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 fo r 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 recharg eable batteries”.

CAUTION

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function when alkaline bat teries being used.

• To charge Ni-MH batteries, 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 used, and the time for which they can be used may b e shortened as a result.

• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if over-discharge d (e.g. by discharging the 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

CAUTION: When disposing of batter-

ies , do so in acco rdanc e with your l ocal waste disposal regulations.

Notes on both models (1, 2)
