On Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
• Do not peel off the external seals or damage the batteries. Never use batteries from which the seals have
been partially or completely removed, or batteries that have been split in any way. These may cause
leakage, explosion, or heat-up of the battery, and personal scald or injury may be caused. These may cause
a malfunction of the battery charger.
• Do not carry or store the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries with metallic objects. Since metallic objects may
short the + and – ends, resulting in the risk of heating or fire.
• If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are dirty, the batteries may not charge properly. Wipe
them with a dry cloth, etc.
• At the time of purchase, or when the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries have not been used for a long time,
they may not full charge. This is typical of this type of battery, and is not a malfunction. If this happens,
repeatedly using up the batteries fully, and then recharging them should correct the problem.
• If you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries before fully using up the existing charge, the low battery
warning may be displayed sooner than expected. This is called the “memory effect.”* If this problem
occurs, charging the batteries only after using up the existing charge will correct it.
* The “memory effect” – the situation in which the capacity of the battery is temporarily lowered.
• To use up the batteries completely, put the camera in the slide show mode (page 36) and leave it that way
until the batteries are used up.
• Do not mix new and used batteries.
• Do not expose the battery to water. The battery is not water-resistant.
WARNING
Battery may explode or leak if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in
fire. Check the valid date (month-year) displayed on the batteries.
