DThe Battery and Charger

Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages xviii–xx and 398–401 of this manual. To prevent short-circuits, replace the terminal cover when

the battery is not in use.

Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or

 

above 40°C (104°F). Charge indoors at ambient temperatures in the

s

vicinity of 5–35°C (41–95°F); for best results, charge the battery at

temperatures above 20°C (68°F). Battery capacity may temporarily drop if

 

the battery is charged at low temperatures or used at a temperature

 

below the temperature at which it was charged. If the battery is charged

 

at a temperature below 5°C (41°F), the battery life indicator in the Battery

 

info (pg. 340) display may show a temporary decrease.

 

The battery may be hot immediately after use. Wait for the battery to cool before recharging.

Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not in use.

DIncompatible Batteries

This camera can not be used with EN-EL3 or EN-EL3a rechargeable Li-ion batteries for the D100, D70 series, or D50 or with the MS-D70 CR2 battery holder.

AEN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries

The supplied EN-EL3e shares information with compatible devices,

enabling the camera to show battery charge state in six levels (pg. 46). The Battery info option in the setup menu details battery charge, battery

life, and the number of pictures taken since the battery was last charged (pg. 340).
