Charging the Battery Approximate Number of Shots That Can Be Taken Number of shots 270 Playback Time (Hours) 6 hours • The number of shots that can be taken is based on the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) measurement standard. • Under some shooting conditions, fewer shots can be taken. Battery Charge Indicator An icon or message will appear on the screen indicating the battery's charge state. Display (Blinking red) "Change the battery pack." Summary Good. Slightly depleted, but sufficient. Nearly depleted. Depleted. Recharge the battery. Using the battery and charger effectively • Charge the battery on the day, or the day before, it will be used. Charged batteries continue to discharge naturally even if they are not used. Attach the cover to a charged battery so that the mark is visible. • How to store the battery for long periods. Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and store the battery. Storing a battery for long periods of time (about a year) without depleting it may shorten its life span or affect its performance. • The battery charger can also be used when abroad. The charger can be used in regions that have 100 - 240 V (50/60 Hz) AC power. If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially available plug adapter. Do not use devices, such as electrical transformers for foreign travel, because they will cause malfunctions. • The battery may develop a bulge. This is a normal characteristic of the battery and does not indicate a problem. However, if the battery bulges to the point where it will no longer fit into the camera, please contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk. • If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the end of its life span. Purchase a new battery. 15
