 The Battery and Power Supply
Note : Check the type of battery used in your camera and 
read the appropriate sections .
The following describes the proper use of batteries and how 
to prolong their life.    Incorrect use can shorten battery life or 
cause leakage, overheating, fi re, or explosion.
Li-ion BatteriesLi-ion Batteries
Read this section if your camera uses a rechargeable 
Li-ion battery.
The battery is not charged at shipment.    Charge the battery 
before use.    Keep the battery in its case when not in use.
 
■ Notes on the Battery
The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use.  
Charge the battery one or two days before use.
Battery life can be extended by turning the camera off   when 
not in use.
Battery capacity decreases at low temperatures; a depleted 
battery may not function at when cold.    Keep a fully charged 
spare battery in a warm place and exchange as necessary, 
or keep the battery in your pocket or other warm place and 
insert it in the camera only when shooting.    Do not place 
the battery in direct contact with hand warmers or other 
heating devices.
 
■  Charging the Battery
Charge the battery in the supplied battery charger.    Charg-
ing times will increase at ambient temperatures below 
+10 °C (+50 °F) or above +35 °C (+95 °F).    Do not attempt 
to charge the battery at temperatures above 40 °C (+104 °F); 
at temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the battery will not 
charge.
Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged battery.  The bat-
tery does not however need to be fully discharged before 
charging.
The battery may be warm to the touch immediately after 
charging or use.  This is normal. 
						

							v
For Your Safety
 
■ Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery can be recharged about 
300 times.  A noticeable decrease in the length of time the 
battery will hold a charge indicates that it has reached the 
end of its service life and should be replaced.
 
■ Storage
Performance may be impaired if the battery is left unused 
for extended periods when fully charged.    Run the battery 
fl at before storing it.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, re-
move the battery and store it in a dry place with an ambient 
temperature of from +15 °C to +25 °C (+59 °F to +77 °F).    Do 
not store in locations exposed to extremes of temperature.
 
■ Cautions: Handling the Battery
•  Do not transport or store with metal objects such as neck- laces or hairpins.
•  Do not expose to fl ame or heat.
•  Do not disassemble or modify.

•  If the camera will not be used for an extended period, re-
move the batteries.  Note  that the camera clock will be reset.
•  The batteries may be warm to the touch immediately after 
use.  Turn the camera off  and allow the batteries to cool 
before handling.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease at low temperatures.   Keep spare batteries in a pocket or other warm place and 
exchange as necessary.  Cold batteries may recover some 
of their charge when warmed.
• Fingerprints and other stains on the battery terminals  can impair battery performance.  Thoroughly clean the 
terminals with a soft, dry cloth before inserting them in 
the camera.
If the batteries leak, clean the battery compartment 
thoroughly before inserting new batteries.
If fl uid from the battery comes into contact with skin 
or clothing, fl ush the aff  ected area with water.    If 
fl uid enters your eyes, immediately fl ush the aff  ected 
area with water and seek medical attention.   Do not rub 
your eyes.  Failure to observe this precaution could result 
in permanent visual impairment.
 
■ Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be temporarily reduced 
when new, after long periods of disuse, or if they are repeat-
edly recharged before being fully discharged.  This is normal 
and does not indicate a malfunction.  Capacity can be in-
creased by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the 
discharge option in the camera setup menu and recharging 
them using a battery charger.
 
Q CAUTION: Do not use the discharge option with alkaline 
batteries.
The camera draws a small amount of current even when off  .  
Ni-MH batteries that have been left in the camera for an ex-
tended period may be drawn down to the point that they no 
longer hold a charge.  Battery performance may also drop if 
the batteries are run down in a de vice such as a fl  ashlight.  Use 
the discharge option in the camera setup menu to discharge 
Ni-MH batteries.  Batteries that no longer hold a charge 
even after repeatedly being discharged and recharged have 
reached the end of their service life and must be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery charger (sold 
separately).  Batteries may become warm to the touch after 
charging.  Refer to the instructions provided with the charger 
for more information.  Use the charger with compatible bat-
teries only.
Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge when not in use.
