• Do not use the provided battery charger D-BC90 to charge batteries other than
rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI90. Charging other batteries may cause
damage or heating.
• If the battery is correctly oriented and inserted into the battery charger but the
indicator lamp is not lit, the battery is faulty. Use a new battery in the camera.
• The maximum charging time is approximately 390 minutes (it depends on
temperature and remaining battery power.) Charge in a location where the
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
• If battery usage time is reduced even when properly charged, the battery has
reached the end of its life. Use a new battery in the camera.
Inserting/Removing the Battery
• Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery while the power is on.
• Remove the battery when you will not use the camera for a long while. The
battery may leak.
• If the date and time settings have been reset when you install a new battery
after a long time has passed since the battery was removed, follow the
procedure for “Setting the Date and Time” (p.67).
• Insert the battery correctly. Batteries inserted incorrectly may cause a
camera breakdown. Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth
before inserting.
• Be careful as the camera or battery may become hot when the camera is
used continuously for a long period of time.
