discharged
and to store it at
normal temperature
(23° C, 13° F) or less. ]f you do
not use the battery 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.
@ if battery usage time is considerably
low despit e

being wiped and the battery
charger's
indicator remaining lit, it is possible that
the batteries have reached the end of their
Iifespan. Switch to different, unused
batteries.

new batteries, look for Canon's
AA-size
NiMH batteries.
