Wipe the battery terminals well with a
dry cloth in the following situations, as
the terminals may be soiled with oil from
one's skin or other dirt:
-If the battery usage time has
considerably diminished.
-If the number of recordable images has
considerably diminished.
-When charging the batteries (insert and
remove the batteries two or three times
before charging)

a few minutes (the battery charger
indicator remains lit)

You may not be able to fully charge the
batteries due to their specifications right
after purchase or after long periods of
non-use. If this happens, use the
batteries until their charge is depleted
before charging them again. After doing
this several times, battery performance
will be restored.
