Charging
. If the camera's operation check indicator flashes red during
charging
• This indicates that charging cannot proceed because the ambient temperature or
the battery temperature is either too high or too low. Disconnect the cable and
leave the camera at room temperature for some time. Then resume charging within
the recommended operating temperature range.
• Check for soiling on the battery contacts. If the contacts are dirty, wipe them clean
with a dry cloth.
If you take the above steps and the operation check indicator is still flashing, the battery
may be defective.
Notes on the battery
. Notes on using the battery
• In cold locations, the characteristics of the battery are such that the time for which
battery can be used when fully charged may be shorter.
• Charge the battery within the recommended operating temperature range. At
temperatures outside the recommended rate, charging may take longer or it may
not be possible to charge the battery fully.
• Do not damage or peel off the outer seal on the battery.
• If the time for which the battery can be used reduces significantly even immediately
after charging, the battery may have reached the end of its service life. Purchase a
new battery. Do not continue to use an old battery. Rather, take old batteries to a
store that offers a recycling service for rechargeable batteries (page 69).
. Notes on storing batteries
• Storing a charged battery for long periods may adversely affect the battery's
characteristics. If the battery will not be used for some time, drain the battery
charge fully before storing it.
• When the camera is not being used, remove the battery from the camera. When
the battery is left in the camera, small amounts of current continue to flow even
when the camera is switched off. This could drain the battery, lengthen the
charging time or cause camera damage.
• Store batteries in a dry, cool location (20°C (68°F) or less).
• To prevent over-discharging, at least once every 6 months you should fully charge
the battery and then fully use up the charge with the camera before storing the
battery.
