Panasonic DMC-LZ6, DMC-LZ7 When not using the batteries for a long period of time

Page 13

Preparation

If “memory effect” occurs, continue using the batteries until the camera stops working and then charge them fully. Battery performance will be restored after a few charges and discharges.

Over time Ni-MH batteries naturally discharge and their capacity lowers even when they are not used.

Once the batteries have reached full charge, do not continue to charge them.

Do not peel off or scratch the covering on Ni-MH batteries.

Read the operating instructions for the battery charger.

Ni-MH batteries have a limited life. Battery capacity gradually decreases over time. If the length of time you can use the camera is extremely short even after fully charging the batteries, they may have exceeded their life span. Purchase new batteries.

Battery life differs depending on the conditions of storage and usage and the environment.

When not using the batteries for a long period of time

If the batteries are left in the camera they will discharge. This is because a small electrical current continues to flow even when the camera is turned off. If the batteries continue to be left in the camera, they will discharge excessively and may become unusable even if charged.

When storing the batteries for a long period of time, we recommend charging them once a year. Remove the batteries from the camera and store them again after they have completely discharged.
