zDo not cover the battery charger with anything, such as a tablecloth, cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly lead to fire.

zDo not charge Battery other than Battery Pack NB-2LH/NB-2L (sold separately) with the supplied battery charger.

zThe battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera (even with the power turned off) or battery charger. This shortens the battery life. Remove the battery pack when the camera is not in use.

zDo not allow any metal objects such as keyrings to touch the and terminals (Fig. A), as this can damage the battery pack. To carry the battery pack, or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig. B). When using Battery Pack NB-2LH, you can distinguish between a discharged battery pack and fully charged battery pack by changing the direction of the battery cover (Fig. C and D). Recharge the battery fully before using it again.

zEven charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge.

zSince storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, store the battery in an indoor location with low relative humidity and between the temperatures of 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F). If you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera at least once a year before returning it to storage.

zThe camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a function is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly attentive in turning the camera off.

zIf the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully charged, it should be replaced.
