•Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter the terminals on the back of the card and do not touch the terminals with your fingers.
∫Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the battery will be shorter.
After use, be sure to remove the battery.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the battery body and terminals are damaged.
•Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.
When you go out, bring charged spare batteries.
•Be aware that the operating time of the battery will become shorter in low temperatures such as outdoors at a ski resort.
