Technical Notes and Index
F4
• If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and
completely exhaust it before removing it for storage. The battery should be
stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F
to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.
• Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger
when it is not being used. When inserted, minute amounts of current are
drawn from the battery even when not in use. This may result in excessive
draining of the battery and complete loss of function. Turning the camera
on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life.
• Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust
it before returning it to storage.
• After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put
the battery in a plastic bag, etc. to insulate it and store it in a cool place.
• A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when
used at room temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced.
Purchase a new EN-EL5 battery.
• Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a
valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
