Getting Ready

Due to the nature of Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, the time for which they can be used may

become shorter in certain situations, even when the batteries are fully charged.

In the following situations, the batteries should be discharged and then fully recharged

before use.

hWhen first used after purchasing the camera

hWhen you purchase new Rechargeable Battery NH-20 or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries

(commercially available)

hWhen the batteries have not been used for a long period

hWhen the batteries can only be used for a short time after being charged normally

●

rechargeable batteries (commercially available).
