First Steps
EN-EL7 Batteries
Before using the EN-EL7, read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages
ii–iii and 147 of this manual.
Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C
(104 °F). During charging, the tem per a ture should be in the vi cin i ty of 5–35 °C (41–
95 °F). Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool
before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair
its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.
When the Battery Is Not in Use
When the battery is not in use, remove it from the camera or battery charger and
replace the terminal cover. The camera and battery charger draw minute amounts of
current even when off; if left in place, the battery could be drained to the point that it
no longer functions. Turn the camera off before removing or inserting batteries. To
remove the battery, open the battery-chamber cover as described in Step 2, above, and
slide the battery out. Note that the battery may become hot during use; observe due
caution when removing the battery.
Alternative Power Sources
To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use
an EH-54 AC adapter (available separately; 143). Do not,
under any circumstances, use another make or model of
AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
overheating or in damage to the camera.
