“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
Your camera operates only with an “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack NP-FW 50. You cannot
use any other battery packs. “InfoLITHIUM” W series battery packs have the
mark.
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a lithium-ion battery pack that has functions for
communicating information related to operating conditions with the camera.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates the power consumption acco rding to the
operating conditions of your camera, and displays the remaining battery time in
percentages.

On charging the battery pack

We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C
and 30°C (50 °F and 86 ° F). The battery pack may not be effectively charged in
temperatures outside this range.

Effective use of the battery pack

• Battery performance decreases in low temperature environments. So in cold places,
the operational time of the battery pack is shorter. To ensure longer battery pack use,
we recommend putting the battery pack in your pocket close to your body to warm it
up, and insert it in the camera immediately before you start shooting.
• The batter y pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or record movies frequently.
• We recomm end preparing spare battery packs and taking trial shots before taking the
actual shots.
• Do not expose t he battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
• Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct
sunlight.

On the remaining battery time indicator

• You can check the level with the following indicators and percent figures displayed on
the LCD screen.
• If the power goes off even though the remaining battery time indicator indicates that
the battery pack is fully charged, recharge the battery pack after full y discharging it in
the camera. Remaining battery time will be indicated correctly. Note, however, that
the battery indication will not be restored if it is used in high temperatures for a long
time, or if left after being charged, or when the battery pack is frequently used. Use the
remaining battery indication as a rough guide only.

How to store the battery pack

• To m aintain the battery pack’s function, char ge the battery pack and then fully
discharge it in the camera at least once a year before storing it. Store the battery pack
in a cool, dry place.
