age, overheating,fire, or explosion
Read this section if your camera uses a
rechargeable Li-ion battery.
The battery is not charged at shipment.
Charge tile battery before use Keep the bat
tery in its case when not in use
•Notes on the Battery
The battery gradually loses its charge when
not in use Charge the battery one or two
days before use
Battery life can be extended by turning the
camera offwhen not in use
Battery capacity decreases at low tempera
tures; a depleted battery may riot function at
when cold Keep a fully charged spare bat
tery in a warm place and exchange as nec
essary, or keep the battery in your pocket or
other warm place and insert it in the camera
only when shooting. Do not place the bat
tery in direct contact with hand warmers or
other heating devices
•Charging the Battery
Charge tile battery in the supplied battery
charger. Charging times will increase at am
blent temperatures below +10°C (+50°F) or
above +35°C (+95°F) Do not attempt to
charge the battery at temperatures above
40°C (+104°F); at temperatures below O°C
(+32 °F), the battery will not charge
Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged
battery The battery does not however need
to be fully discharged before charging.
The batterylray be warm to the touch imme
diately after charging or use This is normal
• Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery can be
recharged about 300 times A noticeable de
crease in the length of time the battery will
hold a charge indicates that it has reached
the end of its service life and should be re
placed
• Storage
Performance may be impaired if the battery is
left unused for extended periods when fully
charged Run the battery fiat before storing it
Ifthe camera will not be used for an extended
period, remove the battery and store it in a
dry place with an alrbient temperature of
from +15 °C to +25 °C (+59% to +77 °F) Do
not store in locations exposed to extremes of
temperature
•Cautions: Handling the Battery
• Donottransport or storewith metal objects
such as necklaces or hairpins
• Do not expose to flame or heat
• Do not disassemble or modify
• Use with designated chargers only
• Do not drop or subject to strong physical
shocks.
• Do not expose to water
• Keep the terminals clean
• The battery and camera body may become
warlr to the touch after extended use This
is normal
Read this section if your camera uses AA
alkaline or rechargeable AA Ni-MH bat-
redes. Information on compatible battery
types may be found elsewhere in the camera
manual
•Cautions: Handling the Batteries
• Do not expose to _*vater, flame, or heat, or
store in warm or humid conditions.
• Do not transport or store with metal obiects
such as necklaces or hairpins
• Do not disassemble or modify tile batteries
or battery casing.
• Do not subject to strong physical shocks
• Do not use batteries that are leaking, de
formed, or discolored
• Keep out of reach of infants and small chil
dren.
•Insert in the correct orientation

i< _f<t"', y
•Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries
with different charge levels, or batteries of
different types
• If the camera will not be used for an extend
ed period, remove the batteries Note that
the camera clock will be reset
• The batteries may be warm to the touch
immediately after use. Turn the camera
off and allow the batteries to cool before
handling
• Battery capacity tends to decrease at low
temperatures Keep spare batteries in a
pocket or other warm place and exchange
as necessary Cold batteries may recover
some of their charge when warmed
• Fingerprints and other stains on the battery
terminals can impair battery performance
Thoroughly clean the terminals with a
soft, dry cloth before inserting them in the
camera
If the batteries leak, clean the battery
compartment thoroughly before in
serting new batteries
If fluid from the battery comes into
contact with skin or clothing, flush
the affected area with water If fluid
enters your eyes, immediately flush the
affected area with water and seek
medical attention. Do not ruh your eyos.
Failure to observe this precaution could
result in perman ant visual impairm ant.
•Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni MH batteries may be
temporarily reduced when new, after long
periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly
recharged before being fully discharged. This
is normal and does not indicate a malfunc
tion Capacity can be increased by repeatedly
discharging the batteries using the discharge
option in the camera setup menu and re
charging them using a battery charger
(!_ (AUTION: Do not use the discharge option
with alkaline batteries
The camera draws a small amount of current
even when off Ni MH batteries that have
been left in the camera Br an extended pe
riod may be drawn down to the point that
they no longer hold a charge Battery perfor
mance may also drop if the batteries are run
down in adevice such as a fashlight Use the
discharge option in the camera setup menu
to discharge Ni MH batteries. Batteries that
no longer hold a charge even after repeat
edly being discharged and recharged have
reached the end of their service life and must
be replaced.
Ni MH batteries can be recharged in a bat
tery charger (sold separately) Batteries may
become warm to the touch after charging
Refer to the instructions provided with the
charger for more information. Use the char
ger with compatible batteries only
Ni MH batteries gradually lose their charge
when not in use
