• Operations by using the batteries listed
above are not guaranteed. If the batteries
listed above are used, leakages can result
and the following malfunctions can occur;
– Remaining battery power may not be
displayed accurately.
– The camera may not be turned on.
– Data written to the built-in memory or
the card can be damaged resulting in
the loss of photos.
∫ Shapes of batteries that cannot be
used
• Batteries with unusual shapes cause
leakage, generation of heat or explosion if
they are inserted in the camera.
• Some commercial batteries have partially
or entirely peeled outer coverings. Never
use these batteries. (Refer to the
illustration below.)
• All or part of the
seal of batteries
are peeled off
Preparation
Lithium batteries
Ni-Cd batteries
• - polarity is flat
∫ Battery indication
The remaining battery power appears on
the screen. [It does not appear when you
use the camera along with the AC adaptor
(DMW-AC2; optional).]
• The battery indication turns red and
blinks. (If the LCD monitor is turned off,
the status indicator blinks.)
• Replace with new batteries or fully
charged Ni-MH batteries.
∫ Proper Care and Handling of the
Batteries
If you mishandle the batteries, leakage,
generation of heat and fire or explosion
may occur. Observe the following cautions;
• Do not subject the batteries or the battery
contacts to any moisture.
• Do not peel off or scratch the covered
seal.
• Do not drop, hit or do anything that causes
impact to the batteries.
• Do not use batteries that show signs of
leakage, deformation, discolouration or
other defects.
• Do not store batteries in high humidity or
high temperature environments.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• When you replace batteries, always use
two of the same type.
• If you will not be using the camera for a
long time, remove the batteries.
• Batteries may become warm soon after
you use the camera. To remove the
batteries, turn the camera off and then
wait until the battery temperature
becomes lower.
