The Battery
•
Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and charge the battery if necessary. Do not
continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in reduced battery
performance. If possible, carry a fully-charged spare battery when taking pictures on important
occasions.
•
Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F).
•
Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F) before
use.
•
Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.
Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance or prevent
it from charging normally.
•
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged
before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and
exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
•
Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery
terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
•
If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing
it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15 to
25 °C (59 to 77 °F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.
•
While the battery is in storage, charge it at least once every six months and then use the camera to
run it flat again before storing it in a cool and dry place.
•
Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used. Left
installed, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become
excessively drained and no longer function. Turning the camera on or off while the battery is
exhausted can result in reduced battery life.
•
Recharge it at least once every six months and run it flat before returning it to storage.
•
After removing the battery from the camera or battery charger, place it in the supplied battery
case and store in a cool place.
•
A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when used at room
temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new EN-EL10 battery.
•
Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource.
Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
