will become normal after a few charges and discharges.

•We recommend charging the batteries after they are fully discharged. If you charge the batteries before they are fully discharged, it can reduce battery performance. This is called “memory effect”.

•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.

Recording conditions by CIPA standard

•Temperature: 23 °C (73.4 °F)/

Humidity: 50% when the LCD monitor is on.

•Using a Panasonic SD Memory Card (16 MB)¢

•Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the optical image stabilizer function is set to [MODE1])

•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./Leaving the camera until

the batteries cool down. ¢The card is not supplied.

•CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].

The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures decreases.

(e.g. When recording once every

2 minutes: about 1/4 the number when recording once every 30 seconds)
