On The Built-In Battery - Sony NSC-GC1 Network Sharing Camera Handbook

On the built-in battery

On charging the battery
We recommend charging the battery in an ambient
temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to
86°F). You may not be able to efficiently charge
the battery outside of this temperature range.
Effective use of the battery
• Battery performance decreases in low
temperature surroundings. So, the time that the
battery can be used is shorter in cold places. We
recommend the following to ensure longer
battery use:
– Put the camera in a pocket, etc. to warm it up
before using.
• The battery will run out quickly if you use the
flash or zoom frequently.
How to store the camera
• If the camera is not to be used for a long time, to
maintain its function, fully charge the internal
battery and use it up at least once a year, and
then store the camera in a dry, cool place.
• To use the battery up, leave your camera in slide
show (page 49) playback mode until the power
goes off.
On battery life
• The battery life is limited. Battery capacity
decreases little by little as you use it more and
more, and as time passes. If the battery
operating time seems shortened considerably, a
probable cause is that the battery has reached
the end of its life. Contact your Sony dealer or
local authorised Sony service facility.
• The battery life varies according to how it is
stored and the operating conditions and
environment.
