Caring for the Camera
Technical Notes
C The Battery
• Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and replace the batteries if necessary (A 18).
If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions.
• When recharging rechargeable batteries, do not recharge batteries that contain a different
amount of charge, or batteries of different model numbers.
• When charging EN-MH2 batteries using Battery Charger MH-72, charge two batteries at a time.
When charging EN-MH2 batteries using Battery Charger MH-73, charge two or four batteries at a
time. To charge EN-MH2 batteries, use only Battery Charger MH-72 or MH-73. Do not use these
battery chargers to charge any other type of battery.
• Do not use any battery charger other than the MH-70/71 to recharge EN-MH1 batteries. Do not
use the MH-70/71 to charge any batteries other than EN-MH1 batteries. Set the Battery type
setting (A 103) to COOLPIX (Ni-MH).
• Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh before heading
outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as
necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.
• Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
