Battery Precautions
■ Precautions during Use
• Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is
always less than operation under normal temperatures. This
is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.
• Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within
the range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside
this temperature range can cause charging to take longer
than normal or even cause charging to fail.
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full
charge, it probably means that the battery has reached the
end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.
■ Storage Precautions
• Though a rechargeable lithium ion battery provides high
capacity in a compact configuration, long-term storage while
charged can cause it to deteriorate.
–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. Leaving a battery in the camera can cause it to
discharge and go dead, which will require longer charging
when you need to use the camera.
–Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
