● Charge Batteries Before Use
Charge the battery before use. The supplied battery is not fully charged at shipment.
● Ready Spare Batteries
Before taking photographs, ready a spare battery and keep it fully charged. Depending on your
location, it may be difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice.
● Have Fully-Charged Spare Batteries Ready on Cold Days
Partially-charged batteries may not function on cold days. In cold weather, charge one battery
before use and keep another in a warm place, ready to be exchanged as necessary. Once warmed,
cold batteries may recover some of their charge.
● Battery Level
Turning the camera on or off repeatedly when the battery is fully discharged will shorten battery
life. Batteries that have been fully discharged must be charged before use.
A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge when used at room
temperature indicates that it requires replacement. Purchase a new rechargeable battery.
● Do Not Attempt to Charge Fully-Charged Batteries
Continuing to charge the battery after it is fully charged can impair battery performance.
● Recycling Used Batteries
Recycle rechargeable batteries in accord with local regulations, being sure to first insulate the
terminals with tape.
