• The useful operation time of the Battery
will gradually decrease after repeated use
and recharging. The Battery is no longer
serviceable if the operation time is very
short, even after a sufficient charge.
• Instead of the supplied Battery Pack, you
can also use AA type Ni-Cd (high density
type) or nickel-hydride batteries available
on the market.
• For emergency use you can install 2
Panasonic alkaline batteries. But, due to
power consumption and shorter operation
life of alkaline batteries compared to the
supplied rechargeable battery pack, it is
strongly recommended that only the
Optical Viewfinder (turn off the LCD
Viewfinder) be used to capture images
when using alkaline batteries.
• If you are not going to use the Digital
Camera for an extended period of time,
remove the Battery Pack from the Digital
Camera.
CAUTION
Discharge the remaining voltage of the
Battery Pack completely before charging.
This is vital to maintain battery life and
the operation time due to characteristics
of the battery.
Do not remove the Digital Camera while
charging is in progress.
