ªOptimal Use of the 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 becomes shorter.

Be sure to detach the battery after use. Be sure to detach the battery from the digital camera. (If it is left attached to the digital camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the digital camera power is off) If the battery is left attached to the digital camera for a long time, discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable after it is charged.

Dispose of an unusable battery.

•The battery has a limited life.

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

Always keep the terminals of the battery clean.

Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust, or other substances.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the battery body and terminals are deformed. Attaching a deformed battery to the digital camera may damage the camera.

ªCondensation

When condensation has taken place: Set the power switch to [OFF] and leave the digital camera in this condition for about 1 hour. When the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally.

ªCautions for Storage

Before storing the digital camera, take the card out and detach the battery. Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively stable temperature. (Recommended temperature:

15 to 25 oC, Recommended humidity:40 to 60 %)

Digital camera

•Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting into the camera.

•Do not leave the camera in places that expose it to high temperature.

Battery

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

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

•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.

•Store the battery in a completely discharged state. To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you completely use up the charged capacity.
