Notes on the Battery (NP-40N)

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40N. Note the points below when using the rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the Safety Notes to make sure that you use the battery correctly.

*When shipped, the NP-
40N is not fully charged.

 

 

Always charge the NP-

 

 

40N before using it.

• When carrying the NP-

 

Soft case(NP-40N)
40N, install it in a digital

 

 

camera or keep it in the

 

 

soft case.

 

 

•When storing the NP-40N, place it inside the special soft case provided.ZBattery Features

•The NP-40N gradually loses its charge even when not used. Charge a NP-40N just before taking pictures (in the last day or two).

•To maximize the life of the NP-40N, turn the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

•The number of available frames will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged NP-40.

You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the NP-40N 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-40N directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted NP-40N in cold conditions.

ZCharging the Battery•You can charge the battery using the battery charger (included).

•The NP-40N 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 about 90 minutes to charge a fully depleted NP-40N battery.

•You should charge the NP-40N at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40N at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the NP-40N is impaired.

•You cannot charge the NP-40N at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

•The NP-40N does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.

•The NP-40N may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.

•Do not recharge a fully charged NP-40N.ZBattery LifeAt normal temperatures, the NP-40N can be used at least 300 times.

If the time for which the NP-40N provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the NP-40N has reached the end of its effective life. If this happens, purchase NP-40 and replace it.
