How to store the battery pack

•If the battery pack is not to be used for a long time, do the following procedure once per year to maintain proper function.

1 Fully charge the battery.

2 Discharge on your camera.

3 Remove the battery from your camera and store it in a dry, cool place.

•To use the battery pack up on your camera, leave the camera to on in slide show playback mode (page 85) until the power goes off.

Battery life

•The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the battery operating time is shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Buy a new battery pack.

•The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment for each battery pack.
