■ Refreshing Rechargeable Batteries
Batteries can start to lose their ability to retain a charge if
you do not use them for a long time or when you charge
them repeatedly without allowing their current charge to be
used up completely. If this happens, you may be able to
restore battery capacity by performing the following “battery
refresh” operation to fully discharge the batteries.
1. Load the chargeable batteries into the camera.
2. While holding down [MENU], press the power button.
This should cause the firmware version screen to flash
on the monitor screen.
3. Leave the camera on until the batteries run out of power
and the camera turns off.
• The battery refresh operation can take as long as 10
hours. The actual amount of time required depends on
battery conditions.
4. After the camera turns off, remove the batteries and
charge them.
■ Using Rechargeable Batteries
SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. brand type HR-3UA, HR-3UB, or
HR-3UF batteries are recommended when using
rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries to power this
camera.
IMPORTANT!
• Never mix two batteries of different brands, ages, or
charge levels. Doing so creates the risk of shortened
battery life and can even damage the camera.
• Batteries cannot be recharged while they are loaded
in the camera.
