On charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the camera for the first time.
You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. In addition, even if the
battery pack is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery pack as is.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F
to 86°F). The battery pack may not be effectively charged in temperatures outside this range.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational
time of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use:
Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the camera
immediately before you start shooting.
(If there are any metal objects such as keys in your pocket, be aware of short-circuits.)
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.
We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two times or three times the expected shooting
time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
You may not be able to turn on the camera or the battery pack may not be effectively charged if the
terminal section of the battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a
cotton swab to clean the battery.
Remaining battery charge
A remaining charge indicator appears on the screen.
A
: High
B
: Low
It takes about 1 minute until the correct remaining charge indicator appears.
The remaining charge indicator may not be correct under certain circumstances.
If you do not operate the camera for a certain period of time while the power is on, the camera turns
off automatically. (Auto power-off function)
If the battery remaining charge is not displayed, press DISP (Display Contents) on the control wheel.
