❏Discharge batteries completely before recharging
them. If your batteries are not completely drained
of power, you may not be able to recharge them
fully.
❏Batteries charged in a hot environment wear out
more quickly.
❏Do not leave batteries in the camera or charger for
a long time without use. See “Storing the
batteries” on page 1-9 for storage instructions.
❏Rechargeable batteries wear out with repeated
use; as their charging capacity decreases, your
camera’s operating time decreases. Replace the
batteries when their operation time becomes
short.
