Camera maintenance
Cautions about using the battery
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can
create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and
lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and may cause a fire
or electric shock.
Notes about charging the battery
•
If the indicator light is off, make sure that the battery is inserted
correctly.
•
If the camera is on while charging, the battery may not fully charge.
Turn off the camera before charging the battery.
•
Do not use your camera when you charge the battery. This may
cause a fire or electric shock.
•
Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the
power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
•
Wait to turn on the camera until after the battery has charged for at
least 10 minutes.
•
If you connect the camera to an external power source while the
battery is depleted, using some high energy-consuming functions will
cause the camera to turn off. To use the camera normally, recharge
the battery.
•
The battery cannot be recharged when the temperature is below
0 ºC or above 40 ºC.
Low battery message
When the battery charge has fully discharged, the battery icon will turn
red and the ‘
Low Battery
’ message will appear.
Notes about using the battery
•
Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very hot
temperatures (below 0º C/32º F or above 40º C/104º F). Extreme
temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and
can cause memory cards to malfunction.
•
When you use the camera for an extended period, the area around
the battery chamber may become warm. This does not affect the
normal use of the camera.
•
Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the
power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
•
In temperatures below 0 ºC, battery capacity and battery life may
decrease.
•
Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures but will return to
normal in milder temperatures.
