The battery drains quickly.
Check the following concerning handling of the battery.
Battery performance temporarily declines when used in cold temperatures, reducing the
time that it can be used.
To get more operating time out of the battery when cold, warm it up in a pocket or the
like, and then reattach it to the camera just before shooting.
The battery drains quicker if you frequently perform operations such as flash and zoom
photography or shoot movies.
The battery normally discharges slightly even when the camera is turned off. Remove the
battery after charging, and store it separately.
The battery may not be able to charge properly if the battery terminals are dirty.
Wipe off the dirt with a dry cloth, cotton swab, or the like.
The battery has a limited life. Battery capacity will diminish as it is repeatedly used or
over time.
If the time that the battery can be used diminishes substantially, it may be time to replace
it with a new one.
If the issue is still unresolved, the product may need to be repaired.
The battery or camera becomes hot or very
warm to the touch.
The camera or battery is heated to some extent during operation because the power consumed by
the camera is partly converted to heat. Normally, this is not an indication of a malfunction. If
necessary, turn the camera off and allow time for it to cool down.
