•Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.

•Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.

•Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery decreases.

∗The number of recordable pictures decreases in Auto Power LCD Mode and Power LCD Mode.

Number reduced if intervals longer – e.g. to approx. one quarter (75 pictures) for 2-minute intervals under the above conditions.

Playback time

The number of recordable pictures or available recording time may vary slightly according to battery and usage conditions.

●The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage. Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been used in some time.

●Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.

●Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged. ●Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 35 °C (50 °F - 95 °F)).

●Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug. Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting heat generated.

●Frequently charging battery is not recommended.

(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to expand.) ●Do not disassemble or modify the charger.

●If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan. Please purchase a new battery.

●The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power is supplied.

The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the battery charger is connected to an electrical outlet. ●When charging:

•Remove any dirt on connectors of charger and battery with dry cloth.

•Keep at least 1 m (3.28 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference).

•Noises may be emitted from inside of charger, but this is not a fault.

•Remove charger from main socket after charging (up to 0.1 W consumed if left in place). ●Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can cause

faults).
