Effective use of the battery
•Battery performance decreases in low- temperature surroundings, and the battery life is shortened under such circumstances. To use the battery pack longer, we recommend you keep the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it, and insert it in your camera just before you start shooting.
•If you use the LCD screen or shoot a lot using the zoom or flash, the battery power will be used up faster.
•We recommend having spare batteries handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and try test shooting before the actually using the camera.
•Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not
Remaining battery time indicator
If the power goes off although the battery remaining indicator indicates that the battery pack has enough power to operate, charge the battery pack fully again after running it down so that the indication on the battery remaining indicator is correct. Note, however, that the correct battery indication sometimes will not be restored if it is used in high temperatures for a long time or left in a fully charged state, or the battery pack is frequently used.
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 pack.
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 POWER button to on in slide show playback mode (page 64) 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 seems to have been considerably shortened, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life.
•The battery life varies depending on storage, operating conditions, and environment, and is different for each battery pack.
