On the battery On charging the battery • We recommend charging the battery in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). You may not be able to efficiently charge the battery outside of this temperature range. • You may not charge the battery pack, or the Power/Charge lamp may not light in the following. - When the he temperature of the battery pack is too low. Remove the battery pack and place it in a warm place. - When the temperature of the battery pack is too high. Remove the battery pack and place it in a cool place. • For details, see page 16. Effective use of the battery • Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery can be used is shorter in cold places. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery use: - Put the camera in a pocket, etc. to warm it up before using. • The battery will run out quickly if you use the zoom frequently. • Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as hammering, dropping or stepping on the battery pack. • Do not use a deformed or damaged battery pack. How to store the camera • If the camera is not to be used for a long time, to maintain its function, fully charge the internal battery and use it up at least once a year, then store the camera in a dry, cool place. • To use the battery up, leave your camera in slide show (page 43) playback mode until the power goes off. On battery life • The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. If the battery operating time seems shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery has reached 68 the end of its life. Contact your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility. • The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment. On disposing the battery • Contact the nearest Sony dealer when disposing the battery. On the internal rechargeable backup battery This camera has an internal rechargeable battery for maintaining the date and time and other settings regardless of whether the power is on or off. This rechargeable battery is continually charged as long as you are using the camera. However, if you use the camera for only short periods, it discharges gradually, and if you do not use the camera at all for about one week it becomes completely discharged. In this case, be sure to charge this rechargeable battery before using the camera. However, even if this rechargeable battery is not charged, you can still use the camera, but the date and time will not be indicated. Charging method of the internal rechargeable backup battery Insert charged battery pack in the camera, and then leave the camera for 24 hours or more with the power off.
