How to store the battery pack, On battery life | Sony DSCW530, W550

When [Power Save] is set to [Standard] or [Stamina], if you do not operate the camera for a certain period of time while the power is on, the LCD screen becomes dark, then the camera turns off automatically (Auto power-off function).

How to store the battery pack

Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain the battery pack’s function, fully charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it on the camera at least once a year while storing.

To use the battery pack up, leave the camera in slideshow playback mode until the power goes off.

To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag to keep away from metal materials when carrying or storing.

On battery life

The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.

The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in which each battery pack is used.

Compatible battery pack

The NP-BN1 (supplied) can be used only in N type compatible Cyber-shot models.
