irritation.
. Battery Life
• Battery continuous operation times provided in this manual represent the 
approximate amount of time before the camera turns off due to low battery power 
when being powered by the special battery under normal temperature (23°C 
(73°F)). They do not guarantee that you will  be able to achieve the indicated level 
of operation. Actual battery life is greatly  affected by ambient temperature, battery 
storage conditions, the amount of time spent in storage, etc.
• Leaving the camera on can run down the battery and cause the low battery  warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever you are not using it.
• The low battery warning indicates that the camera is about to turn off due to low 
battery power. Charge the battery as  soon as possible. Leaving a low or dead 
battery in the camera can lead to battery leakage and data corruption. 
						

							
153Appendix
.Power Supply
• Use only the special rechargeable lithium  ion battery (NP-100) to power this 
camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported.
• The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time 
settings of the camera are cleared about one day after power is cut off from the 
battery. If this happens, be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is 
restored (page 140).
. Data Error Precautions
Your digital camera is manufactured using  precision digital components. Any of the 
following creates the risk of corruption of data in camera memory.
• Removing the battery or memory card while the camera is performing some  operation
• Removing the battery or memory card wh ile the back lamp is flashing green after 
turning off the camera
• Disconnecting the USB cable while  communication is in progress
• Using a battery that is low
• Other abnormal operations
Any of the above conditions can cause  an error message to appear on the monitor 
screen (page 174). Perform the action indicated by the message that appears.
. Operating Environment
• Operating Temperature: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
• Operating Humidity: 10 to  85% (non condensation)
• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations. – In an area exposed to direct sunlight,  or large amounts of moisture or dust
– Near an air conditioner or in other area s subjected to extreme temperature or 
humidity
– Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or  in an area subjected to strong vibration 
						

							
154Appendix
.Condensation
Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such  as when the camera is moved from 
the outdoors on a cold winter day into a warm room, can cause water droplets called 
“condensation” to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera, which creates 
the risk of malfunction. To prevent condens ation from forming seal the camera in a 
plastic bag before changing locations. Then  leave the bag sealed to allow the air 
inside to naturally change to the same temperature as the air in the new location. 
After that, remove the camera from the bag and open the battery cover for a few 
hours.
. Lens
• Never apply too much force when cleaning  the surface of the lens. Doing so can 
scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction.
• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a 
slight bend in lines that should be straig ht. This is due to the characteristics of 
lenses, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
. Caring for your camera
• Never touch the lens or flash window wi th your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and 
other foreign matter on the lens or flash window can interfere with proper operation 
of the camera. Use a blower or other m eans to keep the lens and flash window free 
of dirt and dust, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

If the [CHARGE] lamp does not light...
Charging cannot be performed because ambient temperature or the temperature of 
the charger is too hot or too cold. Wait until the camera returns to normal 
temperature. When the camera returns to a temperature where charging can be 
performed, the [CHARGE] lamp will light red.
If the [CHARGE] lamp does not light  red even within the specified operating 
temperature, the battery is faulty or the  battery is loaded in the charger incorrectly. 
Remove the battery from the charger and chec k if its contacts are dirty. If contacts 
become dirty, wipe them clean with a  dry cloth. When experiencing charging 
problems, also check to make sure that  the power cord is not disconnected from the 
power outlet or charger.

.Precautions during Use
• Operation provided by a battery under cold  conditions is always less than operation 
under normal temperatures. This is due to t he characteristics of the battery, not the 
camera.
• If a battery provides only ve ry limited operation following a full charge, it probably 
means the battery has reached the end of its  service life. Replace the battery with a 
new one.
. Storage Precautions
• Storing the battery for a long time while  it is charged can cause deterioration of 
battery characteristics. If you do not plan  to use a battery for some time, fully use 
up its charge before storing it.
• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left  in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge 
when you need to use the camera.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
