About battery wear
The battery wear may vary depending on length of storage since manufacture of the
battery, temperature of the camera and battery, and operating condition such as flash.
Moreover, if the polarities of the battery (+ or –) and the terminal of the camera that come in
contact with the electrodes are contaminated, electricity will not flow properly and the
camera will decide that the battery are exhausted. When removing and loading the battery,
be careful not to tap these parts. If the parts are contaminated, clean with a dry cloth.
When using the supplied Lithium-ion battery pack, the number of photographs that can be
taken are shown as below.
Conditions: +77°F (+25°C), Flash use rate 100%
Photography interval: 1 frame every 30 seconds
Possible number of shots: 120 shots
* The number of frames shown above is a reference value.
Using the battery efficiently
• This camera consumes electricity even with the power off while the amount is extremely
small. We therefore recommend that the battery be removed when not using the camera
for a long period of time. If the camera is left without battery about a week, the date, time
and other settings may be reset to the factory defaults. If this happens, set the correct date
and time again before using the camera.
• When using the camera in cold areas, keep the camera and battery warm by holding them
inside your outer cloth.
Battery performance lowered through low temperature will return to normal when a normal
temperature is restored (+77°F (+25°C)).
