Open the battery cover.
Lift the battery cover unlock knob, turn it
towards OPEN (1) to unlock, and then
pull the cover open (2).
Do not use the provided battery charger D-BC90 to charge batteries other
than D-LI90. Charging other batteries may cause damage or heating.
Replace the battery with a new one in the following cases:
- If the indicator lamp blinks or does not light after the battery is inserted
correctly
- If the battery starts to run down more quickly even after being charged (the
battery may have reached the end of its service life)
The maximum charging time is approximately 390 minutes (it depends on
temperature and remaining battery power.) Charge in a location where the
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
Inserting/Removing the Battery
Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery while the power is on.
Insert the battery correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly may cause a
camera breakdown. 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
long periods of time. If this occurs, follow the procedure described in “Setting
the Date and Time” (p.62) to set the current date and time.
