Camera maintenance

Low battery message

When the battery charge has fully discharged, the battery icon will turn red and the "Low Battery" message will appear.

Notes about using the battery

•Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0 ºC/32 ºF or above 40 ºC/104 ºF). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.

•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 ºC/32 ºF, 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

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage

Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and may cause a fire or electric shock.

Notes about charging the battery

•If the indicator light is off, make sure that the battery is inserted correctly.

•If the camera is on while charging, the battery may not fully charge. Turn off the camera before charging the battery.

•Do not use your camera when you charge the battery. This may cause a fire or electric shock.

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

•Let the battery charge for at least 10 minutes before turning on the camera.

•If you connect the camera to an external power source while the battery is depleted, using some high energy-consuming functions will cause the camera to turn off. To use the camera normally, recharge the battery.
