For Your Safety
The Battery and Power Supply
The following describes the proper
use of the battery and how to
prolong its life. Incorrect use can
shorten battery life or cause leakage,
overheating,  re, or explosion.
The battery is not charged at ship-
ment. 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 turn-
ing the camera o when not in use.
Battery capacity decreases at low tem-
peratures; 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 bat-
tery charger (pg. 4). Charging 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 battery does
not however need to be fully dis-
charged before charging.
The battery may be warm to the
touch immediately after charging or
use. This is normal.
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 re-
placed.
Storage
Performance may be impaired if the
battery is left unused for extended
periods when fully charged. Run the
battery  at before storing it.
If the camera will not be used for an
extended period, remove the bat-
tery 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 ex-
tremes of temperature.
