ZBattery Life
At normal temperatures, the NP-40 can be used at least
300 times.
If the time for which the NP-40 provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-40 has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
ZHandling the Battery
To avoid injury or damage, observe the following:
• Do not carry or store battery with metal objects such as
necklaces or hairpins.
• Do not heat the battery or throw i t into a fire.
• Do not attempt to take apart or chang e the battery.
• Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those
specified.
• Dispose of used battery promptly.
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its l ife,
observe the following:
• Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject i t to strong
impacts.
• Do not expose the battery to water.
To make sure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:
• Always keep the battery terminals clean.
• Do not store battery in warm or hu mid places. 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. Use the AC power adapter supplied with the
camera if you are taking pictures or viewing images
for a long period of time.

Notes on storage
The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40 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.
• If the battery will not be used for some time, run the
battery out before storing it.
• If you do not intend to use the ca mera for a long period
of time, remove the battery from the camera.
• Place 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).
