Recycling Batteries

This symbol indicates that the battery is recyclable. Cover the terminals with insulating tape and take the battery to a store displaying this symbol.

Charging the Battery Abroad

The battery charger supplied with the camera is designed to switch automatically to the voltage (100-240V) and frequency (50Hz, 60Hz) of the electricity supply in the country or region where used.

However, electrical socket shapes differ from country to country. Before traveling abroad, you are advised to check the socket shape in the country of your destination (see “Main Socket Types in the Major Countries and Regions of the World” (p.26)) and take an appropriately shaped adapter plug with you.

The socket shape does not affect the charging method.

Adapter plug

•Use of an off-the-shelf transformer may lead to defective operation.

•Unplug the adapter plug from the power outlet when the battery charger is not in use.
