Effective use of the battery pack • Battery performance decreases in lowtemperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery pack can be used is shorter in cold places. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use: - 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 shooting. • Frequently operating the zoom or flash wears out the battery charge faster. • We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and making 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 The power may go off although the battery remaining indicator shows there is enough power to operate. Use the battery pack up and 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 the camera is used in high temperatures for a long time or left in a fully charged state, or the battery pack is frequently used. 118 How to store the battery pack • Even if the battery pack will not be used for a long time, fully charge it and use it up once per year. Remove the battery pack from your camera, then store it in a dry, cool place. This is to maintain the battery pack's functions. • To use the battery pack up on your camera, leave the POWER button to on in slide show playback mode (page 63) until the power goes off. • Always carry and store the battery pack in the battery case to prevent the battery terminals from becoming dirty or short circuited. 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 is shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Buy a new battery pack. • The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment for each 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 ensure longer battery pack use:
–
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 shooting.
•
Frequently operating the zoom or flash
wears out the battery charge faster.
•
We recommend having spare battery
packs handy for two or three times the
expected shooting time, and making 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
The power may go off although the battery
remaining indicator shows there is enough
power to operate. Use the battery pack up
and 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 the camera 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
•
Even if the battery pack will not be used
for a long time, fully charge it and use it
up once per year. Remove the battery
pack from your camera, then store it in a
dry, cool place. This is to maintain the
battery pack’s functions.
•
To use the battery pack up on your
camera, leave the POWER button to on in
slide show playback mode (page
63) until
the power goes off.
•
Always carry and store the battery pack in
the battery case to prevent the battery
terminals from becoming dirty or short
circuited.
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 is
shortened considerably, a probable cause
is that the battery pack has reached the
end of its life. Buy a new battery pack.
•
The battery life varies according to how it
is stored and the operating conditions and
environment for each battery pack.
