Effective use of the battery pack
• Battery performance decreases in low-
temperature surroundings. So, the time that 
the battery pack can be used is shorter in 
cold places. 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 
your camera immediately before you 
start shooting.
• Frequently operating the zoom or flash 
wears out the battery charge faster.
• We recommend having spare battery 
packs handy for two 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.
Remaining battery time indicator
The power may go off although the battery 
remaining indicator shows there is enough 
power to operate. Use the battery pack up 
and charge the battery pack fully again so 
that the indication on the battery remaining 
indicator is correct. Note, however, that the 
correct battery indication sometimes will 
not be restored if the camera is used in high 
temperatures for a long time or left in a fully 
charged state, or the battery pack is 
frequently used. 
How to store the battery pack
• Even if the battery pack will not be used 
for a long time, fully charge it and use it 
up once per year. Remove the battery 
pack from your camera, then store it in a 
dry, cool place. This is to maintain the 
battery pack’s functions.
• To use the battery pack up on your 
camera, leave the POWER button to on in 
slide show playback mode (page 58) until 
the power goes off.
Battery life
• The battery life is limited. Battery 
capacity decreases little by little as you 
use it more and more, and as time passes. 
When the battery operating time is 
shortened considerably, a probable cause 
is that the battery pack has reached the 
end of its life. Buy a new battery pack.
• The battery life varies according to how it 
is stored and the operating conditions and 
environment for each battery pack.
