1Camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery

*When shipped, the battery is not fully charged. Always charge the battery before using it.

*When carrying the battery, install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.

■Battery Features

•The battery gradually loses its charge even when not used. Use a battery that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.

•To maximize the life of the battery, 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 battery. You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the battery 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 battery directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted battery in cold conditions.

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

•The battery can be charged at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). Refer to the OWNER’S MANUAL for the time of charging battery.

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

•You cannot charge the battery at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

•The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted fl at before being charged.

•The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.

•Do not recharge a fully charged battery.■Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the battery can be used at least 300 times. If the time for which the battery provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

■Notes on storage

•If a battery 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 camera for a long period of time, remove the battery from the camera.

•Store the battery 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.

• Do not carry or store battery with metal objects such

as necklaces or hairpins.
• Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fi re.

• Do not attempt to take apart or change the battery.

• Do not recharge the battery with chargers other
those specifi ed.
• Dispose of used battery promptly.
• Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts.
• Do not expose the battery to water.
• Always keep the battery terminals clean.

• Do not store batteries in hot places. Also, 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 if you are taking pictures

or viewing images for a long period of time.

2Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH (nickelmetal hydride) rechargeable batteries

■Applicable Batteries

•In the camera, use AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH (nickelmetal hydride) rechargeable batteries. Do not use AA-size manganese, nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or lithium batteries in your camera because the heat created by the batteries could damage the camera or cause it not to work.

•The life of alkaline batteries varies between brands. The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than those provided with the camera.

■Cautions for Using Battey

•Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fi re.

•Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

•Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep batteries from getting wet or stored in moist locations.

•Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries, including battery casings.

•Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts.•Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.•Do not store batteries in warm or humid places.•Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.•Make sure that the battery polarity (+and ,) is correct.

•Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use charged and discharged batteries together.

•Do not use different types or brands of batteries at the same time.

•If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the camera. Note if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date settings are cleared.

•The batteries feel warm right after being used. Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off and wait for the batteries to cool down.

•Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or locations, warm the batteries by placing them inside your garments before use. Batteries do not work well when cold. They will work again when the temperature returns to normal.

•Soil (such as fi ngerprints) on the battery terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.

If any battery fl uid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, fl ush the area thoroughly with water. Note that battery fl uid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fl uid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment.

periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly

charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially
discharged can cause them to suffer from the
“memory effect”. Ni-MH batteries that are

“deactivated” or affected by “memory” suffer from

the problem of only providing power for a short time

after being charged. To prevent this problem,

discharge and recharge them several times using

the camera’s “Discharging rechargeable batteries”

function.

Deactivation and memory are specifi c to Ni-MH

batteries and are not in fact battery faults.
See OWNER’S MANUAL for the procedure for
“Discharging rechargeable batteries”.
Do not use the “Discharging
CAUTION rechargeable batteries” function when
alkaline batteries being used.

•To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to make sure that the charger is used correctly.

•Do not use the battery charger to charge other batteries.•Note that the batteries feel warm after being charged.

•Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small amount of current is used even when the camera is turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period will overdischarge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging.

•Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not used, and the time for which they can be used may be shortened as a result.

•Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if overdischarged (e.g. by discharging the batteries in a fl ashlight). Use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function provided in the camera to discharge the batteries.

•Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a battery can only be used for a short time even after repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have reached the end of its service life.

■Disposing of Batteries

•When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.

3Notes on both models ( 1 , 2 )■AC Power Adapter
