When you are using a new rechargeable battery or a rechargeable battery that has
not been used for an extended period of time (the battery that passed the expiry
date is an exception), it may affect the number of images that can be captured.
Therefore, to maximize its performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully
charge the battery and discharge it for at least one complete cycle before use.
The battery may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of the camera or
the flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.
The camera may feel warm after a long period of continuous use. This is normal
