Battery Precautions
■Precautions during Use
•Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.
•Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside this temperature range can cause charging to take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail.
•If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably means that the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.
