ªOptimal Use of the 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.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the battery body and terminals are deformed.
Inserting a deformed battery to the camera may damage the camera.
Be sure to remove the battery when you do not use the camera for a long period of time.
If it is left inserted to the camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the camera is turned off. If the battery is left inserted in the camera for a long time, discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable even after it is charged.
ªCondensation
When using the camera outdoors during very cold weather, condensation can form on the camera and lens when you return to a warm place.
When condensation has taken place: Turn the camera off and leave the camera in this condition for about
2 hours. When the camera becomes close to the ambient temperature, the condensation disappears naturally.
Dispose of an unusable battery.
•The battery has a limited life.
•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
