Preparation
•The battery life differs depending on the condition stored or used or environment.
When you do not use batteries for a long period of time
•When the batteries are left inserted in the camera, the batteries are discharged since a weak electric current is passed even if the camera is turned off. If you leave the batteries, they will excessively discharge and may become unusable even if they are recharged.
•When you store the batteries for a long period of time, we recommend charging the batteries once a year and removing them from the camera for storage after the batteries are completely discharged.
