Preparation

ªNi-MH Battery (Nickel Metal Hydride)

The battery charger should only be used with the Ni-MH batteries. Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Please be aware of the following issues;

•If any oxidation or foreign substance is found on the battery contacts, the battery may not be charged correctly. Battery contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth or ink eraser.

•Newly purchased rechargeable batteries or those which have not been used for a long period of time may not reach full capacity after one charge. The overall performance will increase after 2-3 discharge/charge cycles.

•Rechargeable batteries should be used to the point when the camera stops working. They should be recharged as soon as possible. Premature charging can cause “memory effect”, whereby the overall operating time can be decreased.

•Even during storage, rechargeable batteries will naturally discharge. We suggest charging before each use.

•Once batteries have reached full charge, avoid over charging them.

•Do not peel off or damage the covered seal.

•Read the Operating Instructions for the battery charger.

Ni-MH batteries have a limited life. The battery power decreases gradually over time. If available time seems much shorter, purchase new batteries.

• The battery’s life differs depending on the condition stored or used or environment.

ªBattery indicator

The remaining battery power is displayed on the LCD monitor. (This is not displayed when using AC adaptor (optional, DMW-AC1).)

: The battery power is sufficient

: The remaining power is low

: There is little remaining power

(Blinks in red): Replace the batteries

When using new Ni-MH batteries, the battery indicator may not be displayed correctly because of the characteristic of the batteries, not because of a malfunction. If you repeatedly discharge and charge the batteries fully, the battery indicator will be displayed correctly.

•The battery indicator may not be displayed correctly depending on the temperature or other conditions. As a result, even if the battery indicator is not empty, the power may be turned off. This is not a malfunction.

•Even if the battery power depletes when leaving them unused for a while, the battery power may recover. However, they will not be usable, so replace them with new ones once the battery power depletes.
