Precautions during Use
•
Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation under
normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.
•
Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 5°C to 35°C
(41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than normal or
even fail.
•
Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.
•
If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably means
the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.
•
Storage Precautions
•
Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of battery
characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use up its charge
before storing it.
•
Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left in
the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge when you
need to use the camera.
•
Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
•
To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in the
camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.
