About "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (not supplied) What is the "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack? The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack (not supplied) is a lithium-ion battery pack that has functions for communicating information related to operating conditions between your camera and the AC power adaptor (not supplied). The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack calculates the power consumption according to the operating conditions of your camera, and displays the remaining battery time in minutes. Charging the battery pack • Be sure to charge the battery pack before you start using your camera. • We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) until the /CHG lamp goes out, indicating that the battery pack is fully charged. If you charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range, you may not be able to efficiently charge the battery pack. • After charging is completed, disconnect the AC power adaptor from the DC IN jack on your camera or remove the battery pack. Effective use of the battery pack • Battery performance decreases in low- temperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery pack can be used is shorter in cold places. We recommend the following to use the battery pack longer: - Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in your camera immediately before you start taking shots. • Frequently using the LCD panel or frequently operating the zoom wears out the battery pack faster. • Be certain to turn the POWER to off when not taking shots or playing back on your camera. • We recommend having spare batteries handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and make a trial shots before taking the actual shots. • Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant. 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 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. Regard the remaining battery time indication as the approximate shooting time. • The E mark indicating there is little remaining battery time sometimes flashes depending on the operating conditions or ambient temperature and environment even if the remaining battery time is 5 to 20 minutes. How to store the battery pack • Even if the battery pack is not used for a long time, store it in a dry, cool place after fully charging it once per year and then using the battery pack up on your camera. This is to maintain the battery pack's functions. • To use the battery pack up on your camera, leave the POWER to on in slide show playback mode until the power goes off. Additional information 73
