hDo not recharge the battery with chargers other those
specified.
hDispose of used batteries promptly.
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its
life, observe the following:
hDo not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts.
hDo not immerse the battery in water.
To ensure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:
hAlways keep the battery terminals clean.
hStore the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the
battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten
the battery life.
If you use the battery for a long period, the camera
body and the battery itself will become warm. This is
normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power
adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking
pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

✽These specifications are subject to change without notice.
■Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the NP-60 can be used at
least 300 times.
If the time for which the NP-60provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-60has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
Lithium-ion Battery Pack NP-60 is both compact and
capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if
It is stored for long periods while charged, the
performance of the battery can be impaired.
hIf the battery will not be used for some time, run the
battery flat before storing it.
hAlways remove the battery from the camera or battery
charger when it is not being used.
hPlace the battery pack inside the soft case and store
in a cool place.
✽The battery should be stored in a dry location with an
ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C
(+59°F and +77°F).
✽Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.
■Handling the Battery
To avoid injury or damage, observe the following:
hDo not allow the metal portions of the battery to touch
other metal objects.
hDo not bring the battery close to a flame or throw it
into a fire.
hDo not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
Notes on storage
This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
Pack NP-60. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly.
✽When shipped, the NP-60 is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-60before using it.
hWhen carrying the NP-
60, install it in a digital
camera or keep it in the
soft case.
hWhen storing the NP-60,
place it inside the special
soft case provided.
■Battery Features
hThe NP-60 gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a NP-60 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.
hTo maximize the life of the NP-60, switch the camera
off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
hThe number of available shots will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-60.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the NP-60 in your pocket or another warm
place to heat it and then loading it into the camera
just before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the
NP-60 directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-60 in cold conditions.
Notes on Using the Battery (NP-60)
Notes on the Power Supply■Charging the Battery
hYou can charge the NP-60 using the AC Power
Adapter AC-5VS/AC-5VHS.
• The NP-60 can be charged at ambient temperatures
between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an
ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes
approximately 5 hours to charge a fully depleted
NP-60 battery.
• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
• You cannot charge the NP-60 at temperatures of
0°C (+32°F) or below.
hYou can also use the optional BC-60 Battery Charger
to charge the NP-60.
• The NP-60 can be charged using the BC-60 Battery
Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and
+40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient
temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately
2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.
• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
hThe NP-60 does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
hThe NP-60 may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
hDo not recharge a fully charged NP-60.
