Notes about using the battery

•Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries.

•When you use the camera for an extended period, the area around the battery chamber may become warm. This does not affect the normal use of the camera.

•Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.

•In temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F, battery capacity and battery life may decrease.

•Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures but will return to normal in milder temperatures.

Cautions about using the battery
