Battery Features
●
The battery gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a battery that has been charged recently
(in the last day or two) to take pictures.
●
To maximize the battery life, switch the camera off as
quickly as possible when it is not being used.
●
The number of available shots will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged battery.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the battery in your pocket or another warm
place to heat it and then loading it into the camera
just before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place
the battery directly against the pad. The camera may
not operate if you use a depleted battery in cold
conditions.
■
Charging the Battery
●
The battery can be charged using the AC-5VS/AC-5VH
(provided as an accessory or sold separately) AC
Power Adapter supplied with the FinePix6900 ZOOM.
The battery takes approximately 5 hours to charge.
If you use the BC-80 Battery Charger (sold separately),
the battery can be charged in approximately 70 minutes.
●
This rechargeable battery does not need to be fully
discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.
●
The battery may feel warm after it has been charged
or immediately after being used. This is perfectly
normal.
●
The battery can be charged at temperatures between
0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F), but should be
charged b10°C and +30°C (+50°F and +86°F)
to obtain maximum battery performance.
●
Do not recharge a fully charged battery.
■
Battery Life
At normal temperatures, this battery can be used at
least 300 times.
If the time for which the battery provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
