Inserting/Removing the Battery
Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery while the power is on.
Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it may not be
removed. Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth before
inserting.
Be careful as the camera or battery may become hot when the camera is
used continuously for a long period of time.
Remove the battery when you will not use the camera for a long while. The
battery may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged
periods of non-use. If the removed battery will not be used for six months or
longer, charge the battery for about 30 minutes before storing it. Be sure to
recharge the battery every six to twelve months.
Store the battery in a location where the temperature will remain below room
temperature. Avoid locations with high temperatures.
The date and time may be reset if you leave the battery out of the camera for
a long period of time. If this occurs, follow the procedure described in “Setting
the Date and Time” (p.60) to set the current date and time.
