• Repeatedly recharging batteries before they become
fully depleted may cause batteries to lose capacity. Do
not recharge the batteries until the LCD monitor displays
the “Change the batteries” message.
• Wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth in the
following situations, as the terminals may be soiled with
oil from one’s skin or other dirt:
- If the battery usage time has considerably diminished
- If the number of recordable images has considerably
diminished
- When charging the batteries (insert and remove the
batteries two or three times before charging)
- When charging completes in a matter of a few minutes
(the battery charger indicator remains lit)
• You may not be able to fully charge the batteries due to
their specifications right after purchase or after long
periods of non-use. If this happens, use the batteries
until their charge is depleted before charging them
again. After doing this several times, battery
performance will be restored.
•
Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long
periods of time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or
affect performance, you are recommended to use the
battery pack in the camera until it is completely dis-
charged and to store it at normal temperature (23° C/73°
F) or less. If you do not use the battery pack for long
periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the
camera at least once a year before returning it to storage.
• If battery usage time is considerably low despite their
terminals’ being wiped and the battery charger’s
indicator remaining lit, it is possible that the batteries
have reached the end of their lifespan. Switch to
different, unused batteries. If you are purchasing new
batteries, look for Canon’s AA-size NiMH batteries (four-
piece set).
• Leaving batteries in the camera or charger may damage
it causing battery leakage.
Remove batteries from the camera or charger and store
in a dry cool location when not in use.
