•The nickel-hydrogen batteries available in stores are not factory-charged. Charge
them before use.
•When using nickel-hydrogen batteries, use only those batteries that have been
charged together. Do not mix different types of batteries.

immediately after they ar e purchased or when left unuse d for more than a month. In
such a case, recharge the batteries two or three times before use. The batteries self-
discharge with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge them before use.
