Use only the specified battery (3.7V).
Avoid extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and
reduce camera performance.
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.
