Power Supply and Battery
ZBattery Features
• The NP-150 gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a NP-150 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.
• To maximize the life of the NP-150, turn the camera off
as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
• The number of available frames will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-150.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the NP-150 in your pocket or another warm
place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just
before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the
NP-150 directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-150 in cold conditions.
ZCharging the Battery
• You can use the battery charger BC-150 (included) to
charge the NP-150. When charging, use the NP-150
battery adapter supplied with the BC-150.
• The NP-150 can be charged using the BC-150 Battery
Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and
+40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient
temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approx. 135
minutes to charge a fully depleted NP-150 battery.
• You should charge the NP-150 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-150 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because the
performance of the NP-150 is impaired.
• The NP-150 does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
• The NP-150 may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged NP-150.
ZBattery Life
At normal temperatures, the NP-150 can be used at least
300 times.
If the time for which the NP-150 provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-150 has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
Notes on the Battery (NP-150)
This camera uses the rechargeable lithium-ion Battery
NP-150. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to make sure that you use the battery
correctly.
*
When shipped, the NP-150 is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-150 before using it.
• When carrying the NP-150, load it in the digital camera
or attach the enclosed battery cap.
