■Storage Precautions

•Though a rechargeable lithium ion battery provides high capacity in a compact configuration, long-term storage while charged can cause it to deteriorate.

–If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use up its charge before storing it.

–Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. Leaving a battery in the camera can cause it to discharge and go dead, which will require longer charging when you need to use the camera.

–Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
