• Do not use the provided battery charger D-BC90 to charge batteries other than rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI90. Charging other batteries may cause damage or heating.

•If the battery is correctly oriented and inserted into the battery charger but the indicator lamp is not lit, the battery is faulty. Use a new battery in the camera.

• The maximum charging time is approximately 390 minutes (it depends on temperature and remaining battery power.) Charge in a location where the temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.

•If battery usage time is reduced even when properly charged, the battery has reached the end of its life. Use a new battery in the camera.

Inserting/Removing the Battery

When using the battery for the first time, charge the battery and insert it into the camera.

• Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery while the power is on.

• Remove the battery when you will not use the camera for a long while. The battery may leak.

• If the date and time settings have been reset when you install a new battery after a long time has passed since the battery was removed, follow the procedure for “Setting the Date and Time” (p.67).

• Insert the battery correctly. Batteries inserted incorrectly may cause a camera breakdown. Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth before inserting.
