Battery capacity varies with make
and storage conditions. Some com-
merCia Ily-ava ilable batteri es may
have less capacity than the batteries
provided wit the camera.
Cautions: Handling Batteries
• Do not use batteries that are leaking,
deformed, or discolored.
Warning if
the batteries leak, clean the battery
compartment thorouqhly before in-
serting new batteries. If fiuio from
the battery comes into contact with
skin or clothing, fiush the affected
area with water. Iffluidentersyoureyes,
immediately flush the affected area with
water and seek medical attention. Do not
rub your eyes. Failure to observe this pre-
caution could result in loss of eyesight
· Do not transport or store with metal
objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
batteries
or battery casing.
•
Do not expose to strong physical
socks.
· Do not expose to water, name, or heat,
or store in warm or humid conditions.
•
Keep out of reach of infants and
small children.
•Insert
in the correct orientation
•
Do not ix old and new bat eries,
batteries with different charge lev-
els, or batteries of different types.
•If the camera will not
be used for
an extended 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 bat-
teries to cool before handling
•Battery capacity tends to decrease
at low temperatures Keep spare
batteries in apocket or other warm
place
and exchange as necessary
Cold bJtteries may recover some
of their charge when wal'med
•Fingerprints and other foreign
matter
on the battery terminals
can reduce battery performance
Thoroughly clean the terminals
vvith asoft, ury cloth oefore insert-
ing t e batteries
in the camera.
Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may
be temporarily reduced when new,
after long periods
of disuse, or ifthey
are repeatedly recharged before be-
ing fully discharged.
This is normal
and does not indicate amalfunction.
Capacity
can be increased by repeat-
edly discharging the batteries using
the 8
DISCHARGE option in the
camera setup menu and recharging
herr
us g a battery charger (sold
separately).
Do not use this option
with alkaline batteries.
The camera draws a small amount of
current even when off. Ni-MH batter-
ies that have been leftn tl ecamera
for an extended period may be drawn
down
to the point that they no longer
hold acharge. Battery performance
may also drop ifthe batteries are run
down in adevice such as afiashlight
Use the 8 DISCHARGE option in the
camera setup menu to discharge
Ni-
MH batteries. Batteries that no lon-
ger hold acharge even after repeat-
edly being
dischar-ged and recharged
have reached the end of their service
life
and must be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries
can be recharged in
abattery charger (sold seoarately).
Batteries
may become \lVarm to the
touch after charging.
Refer to the in-
structions provided with the charger
for more information.
Use the char-
ger with compatible batteries only.
Ni-iviH batteries gradually lose their
charge when no
