Charging the Battery Pack (continued)
When using Battery Pack BP-511A or BP-514, you can distinguish
between the discharged battery pack and fully charged battery
pack by changing the direction of the battery cover (Fig. C and D).
Recharge the battery fully before using it again.

e Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You
are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day
before, to ensure a full charge.
e Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time
(about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you
are recommended to use the battery pack in the camera until the
L b
symbol displays and to store it at normal temperature (30
°CI
86 OF) or lower. If you do not use the battery pack for long periods
of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera at least
once a year before returning it to storage.
e The camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on
even when a function is not being used. To conserve the battery
charge, be particularly attentive in turning the camera off.
e Although the battery pack's maximum operating range is 0 to
40°C (32 to 104 OF), the optimal range is 10 to 30°C (50 to
86 OF). At cold temperatures, such as those experienced when
skiing, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable
time before recharging.
elf the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even
when fUlly charged, it should be replaced.
