Charging the Battery Pack (continued)

When using Battery Pack BP-511A or BP-514, you can distinguish between the 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, you are recommended to use the battery pack in the camera until the symbol displays and to store it at normal temperature (30 °C/ 86 °F) or lower. 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.

zAlthough the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F), the optimal range is 10 to 30 °C (50 to

86 °F). At cold temperatures, such as those experienced when skiing, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable time before recharging.

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