The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the playback, fast-forward, and fast-rewind frequently.
Turn off the camera every time you do not shoot or playback on the camera. Battery pack is wearing
out when the shooting is in standby.
We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two times or three times the expected shooting
time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
You may not be able to turn on the camera or the battery pack may not be effectively charged if the
terminal section of the battery pack is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust with a soft cloth lightly to clean
the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.

On battery pack life
The battery pack life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If
decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a
new one.
The battery pack life varies according to how a battery pack is used.
