BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Make sure you remove the battery from the camera
when you do not plan to use it for a long time. A battery
left in the camera discharges very small amounts of
power even when power is turned off, which can lead to
a dead battery or the need for longer charging before
the next use.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20°C (68 °F) or
lower).

come with the optional charger for...
