Battery

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the battery will be shorter.

Be sure to remove the battery after use.

Store the removed battery in the battery carrying case.

When you go out, bring charged spare batteries.

Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter under low temperature such as skiing grounds.

When you travel, be sure to prepare the supplied charger to charge the battery on the spot.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the battery body and terminals are damaged.

Inserting damaged battery in the camera may damage the camera.

After use, be sure to remove the card and the battery or disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.

Extremely high or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

If the battery is kept in smoky or dusty places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

Dispose of an unusable battery.

The battery has a limited life.

Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.

Do not allow the battery terminals to come in contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.).

This can result in a short circuit or heat generation and, if you touch the battery in this condition, you may be badly burned.

Charger

If you use the charger near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the charger 1 m or more away from radio.

When the charger is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is not a malfunction.

After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable from the electrical outlet. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)

Keep the terminal of the charger and battery clean.

Condensation (When the lens is

fogged up)

When condensation has taken place:

Turn the camera off and leave the camera in this condition for about 2 hours. When the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature, the condensation disappears naturally.

When you move the camera from a cold place to a hot place, put the camera into plastic bag and then take it out after the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature to avoid condensation.

Condensation may cause a malfunction in the camera.

Be careful to avoid condensation and take proper measures when condensation occurs.
