2 GettingStarted

• Do not use the provided Battery Charger D-BC68P to charge batteries other than rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI68. Charging other batteries may cause damage or heating.

•Replace the battery with a new one in the following cases:

-If the indicator lamp blinks or does not light after the battery is inserted correctly

-If the battery starts to run down more quickly even after being charged (the battery may have reached the end of its service life)

The maximum charging time is approximately 115 minutes (it depends on temperature and remaining battery power). Charge in a location where the temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.

Inserting/Removing the Battery

• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it may not be removed. Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth before inserting.

•Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery while the power is on.

•Be careful as the camera or battery may become hot when the camera is used continuously for a long period of time.

•Remove the battery when you will not use the camera for a long while. The battery may leak.

•The date and time may be reset if you leave the battery out of the camera for long periods of time. If this occurs, follow the procedure described in “Setting the Date and Time” (p.50) to reset the date and time.
