ª Optimal Use of the Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power is
based upon the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery becomes
shorter.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
Be sure to detach the battery from the
digital camera. (If it is left attached to
the digital camera, a minute amount of
current is consumed even when the
digital camera power is off) If the battery
is left attached to the digital camera for
a long time, discharge takes place. The
battery may become unusable after it is
charged.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
• The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire because it
may cause an explosion.
Always keep the terminals of the
battery clean.
Prevent the terminals from getting
clogged with dirt, dust, or other
substances.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the battery body and
terminals are deformed. Attaching a
deformed battery to the digital camera
may damage the camera.
ª Condensation
When condensation has taken place:
Set the power switch to [OFF] and
leave the digital camera in this
condition for about 1 hour. When the
camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature, the fog disappears
naturally.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the digital camera, take
the card out and detach the battery.
Store all the components in a dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature:
15 to 25 oC, Recommended humidity:40
to 60 %)
Digital camera
• Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust
from getting into the camera.
• Do not leave the camera in places that
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
• Extremely high or low temperatures will
shorten the life of the battery.
• If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty
places, the terminal may rust and cause
malfunctions.
• Do not allow the battery terminals to come
in contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result
in a short circuit or heat generation and, if
you touch the battery in this condition, you
may be badly burned.
• Store the battery in a completely
discharged state. To store the battery for a
long period of time, we recommend you
charge it once every year and store it
again after you completely use up the
charged capacity.
