Storage

Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off before putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. If the product will not be used for an extended period, run the battery flat and remove it from the camera. Store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant, replacing the desiccant when it loses its capacity to absorb moisture. Do not store the camera with naptha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:

•are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%

•are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios

•are exposed to temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)

To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before put- ting the camera away again.

Batteries

•Check the battery level when taking the camera out and charge the battery if neces- sary ( 8–9). Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in reduced battery performance. If possible, carry a fully-charged spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions.

•Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). During charging, the temperature should be in the vicinity of 5–35 °C (41–95 °F). Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.

•On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

•Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.

•When the battery is not in use, remove it from the camera or battery charger and replace the terminal cover. The camera and battery charger draw minute amounts of current even when off; if left in place, the battery could be drained to the point that it no longer functions. Turning the camera on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life. If the battery will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool (15 °C–25 °C/59 °F–77 °F), dry place. Recharge it at least once a year and run it flat before returning it to storage.

•Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
