Charging the Battery
 Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
  Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be 
used.
Even during storage, a charged batte ry will gradually drain and lose 
its capacity.
  After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the 
charger from the power outlet.
  When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small 
amount of power current is releas ed, resulting in excess discharge 
and shorter battery life. Store the ba ttery with the protective cover 
(provided) attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may 
lower the battery’s performance.
  The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/
60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available 
plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any 
portable voltage transformer to t he battery charger. Doing so can 
damage the battery charger.
  If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully 
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Purchase a new battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
  After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for 
at least 3 sec.
  Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E10.
  Battery Pack LP-E10 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with 
an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or 
accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.

being written to or read by the card, being erased, or data is being 
transferred. Do not open the card slot/battery compartment cover.

  If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not 
start from 0001 (p.184).
