On “InfoLITHIUM”
battery pack
What is the “InfoLITHIUM”
battery pack?
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions between your camera
and the AC Adaptor.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
calculates the power consumption
according to the operating conditions of
your camera, and displays the remaining
battery time in minutes.
Charging the battery pack
We recommend charging the battery pack
in an ambient temperature of between
10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). You may not
be able to effi ciently charge the battery
pack outside of this temperature range.
Effective use of the battery pack
• Battery performance decreases in
low-temperature surroundings. So, the
time that the battery pack can be used is
shorter in cold places. We recommend
the following to ensure longer battery
pack use:
− Put the battery pack in a pocket close to
your body to warm it up, and insert it
in your camera immediately before you
start shooting.
• Frequently operating the zoom or fl ash
wears out the battery charge faster.
• We recommend having spare battery
packs handy for two or three times the
expected shooting time, and making trial
shots before taking the actual shots.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water.
The battery pack is not water-resistant.
• Do not leave the camera in a hot location
such as inside a hot car or exposed to
direct sunlight.
Remaining battery time
indicator
The power may go off although the battery
remaining indicator shows there is enough
power to operate. Use the battery pack up
and charge the battery pack fully again so
that the indication on the battery remaining
indicator is correct. Note, however, that
the correct battery indication sometimes
will not be restored if the camera is used in
high temperatures for a long time or left in
a fully charged state, or the battery pack is
frequently used.
How to store the battery pack
• Even if the battery pack will not be used
for a long time, fully charge it and use
it up once per year. Remove the battery
pack from your camera, then store it in
a dry, cool place. This is to maintain the
battery pack’s functions.
• To use the battery pack up on your
camera, leave the POWER button to on
in slide show playback mode (page 84)
until the power goes off.
• Always carry and store the battery pack
in the battery case to prevent the battery
terminals from becoming dirty or short
circuited.
