[91] How to Use Others Notes on Using
Battery Packs of the Camera and the Live-View Remote
On charging
Charge the camera the remote control before using them for the first time.
We recommend charging the camera and the remote control in an ambient temperature of
between 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) until the POWER/CHG (Charge) lamp turns off.
The camera and the remote control may not be effectively charged in temperatures
outside this range.
The POWER/CHG (Charge) lamp may blink during charging the camera in the following
situations:
Battery pack is not attached correctly
Battery pack is damaged
When the battery pack temperature of the camera is low, detach the battery pack and put
it in a warm place.
When the battery pack temperature of the camera is high, detach the battery pack and put
it in a cool place.
The CHG (Charge) lamp of the remote control may blink in the following situations.
Battery pack is damaged
If the temperature of the remote control is low, put it in a warm place.
If the temperature of the remote control is high, put it in a cool place.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery pack performance decreases at a low ambient temperature lower than 10 °C (50
°F). In cold places, therefore, the operational time of the battery pack is shorter.
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the playback, fast-forward, and fast-rewind
frequently.
It is recommended that you warm the battery pack in advance by keeping the pack in a
place such as a pocket and attach it to the camera right before the shooting for the safe
operation and longer lifetime.
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 twice or three times longer than the
expected shooting time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
You may not be able to turn on the camera and remote control 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.
