Batteries that can be charged
Charge the AA-size Ni-MH batteries (HR-AA).
h
AA-size Ni-MH batteries (included)
●
!
Always use the battery charger BCH-NH2 bundled with the camera to charge Ni-MH batteries. Attempting to charge
batteries other than those specified for use with the charger (such as manganese, alkaline or lithium batteries) can cause
the batteries to burst or leak. This could result in a fire or injury and consequent damage to the surroundings.
1
Load the Ni-MH batteries (included) into the battery
charger BCH-NH2 bundled with the camera
correctly as indicated by the polarity icons.
●
!
The Ni-MH batteries are not fully charged when purchased
and must be fully charged before being used.
●
!
When first used after purchasing or when left unused for a
long period, charge and discharge the battery using the
camera’s “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function and
then recharge them (
➡
P.107).
●
!
If the terminals of battery are soiled, it may not be possible to
charge them. Clean the battery terminals and battery charger
terminals with a clean, dry cloth.
2
Plug the battery charger into a power outlet to
begin charging. After completing the charging, the
charging lamp turns off. Unplug the battery charger
from the power outlet when it is not in use.
●
!
If Ni-MH batteries are charged repeatedly before they are
fully discharged, the battery charge indicator will appear while
there is still ample charge remaining in the batteries. At that
time, discharge and recharge them several times using the
camera’s “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function
(
➡
P.107).
●
!
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and
shall be easily accessible.
●
!
The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the
country of use.
✽
Plug-in and cord-attached types are provided
depending on the intended country of use.
