[] The Battery
• (-heck 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 am blent temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). Failure
to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance.
• When recharging, the ambient temperature should be in the vicinity of 5 to 35 °C (41 to 95 °F).
• The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
Charging times may increase at battery temperatures from 0 °C to 10 °C (32 °F to SO °F) and from
45 °C to 60 °C (113 °F to 140 °F).
• 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.
• 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 fiat before removing
it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an am blent temperatu re 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 location.
• 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.
• 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 EL11 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.
