When not using the camera for a long period of time

Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature: (Recommended

temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF), Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)

Always remove the battery and the card from the camera.

If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is turned off. If the battery continues to be left in the camera, it will discharge excessively and may become unusable even if charged.

When storing the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once a year. Remove the battery from the camera and store it again after it has completely discharged.

We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or a cabinet.
