correctly
• NiMH batteries left unused in
storage for long periods can be
come "deactivated" Also, repeat
edly charging NiMH batteries
that are only partially discharged
carl cause them to suffer from the
"memory effect" Ni MH batteries
that are "deactivated" or affected
by "memory" suffer from the prob
lem of only providing power for a
short time after being charged, To
prevent this problem, discharge
and recharge them several times
using the camera's "Discharging
rechargeable batteries" function
Deactivation and memory are spe
cific to Ni MH batteries and are not
in fact battery faults
See Owner's Monuo/for the proce
dure for "Discharging rechargeable
batteries"
_CAUTION
Do not use the "Discharging re
chargeable batteries" function when
alkaline batteries being used

rately), Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to make
sure that the charger is used cor
recfly
• Do not use the battery charger to
charge other batteries
• Note that the batteries feel warm
after being charged
• Due to the way the camera is con
strutted, a small amount of current
is used even when the camera is
turned of L Note in particular that
leaving NiMH batteries in the
camera for a long period will over
discharge the batteries and may
render them unusable even after
recharging
• Ni MH batteries will self discharge
even when not used, and the time
for which they can be used may be
shortened as a result
• Ni MH batteries will deteriorate
rapidly if over discharged (eg,
by discharging the batteries in a
flashlight). Use the "Discharging re
chargeable batteries" function pro
vided in the camera to discharge
the batteries
• Ni MH batteries have a limited
service life, If a battery can only
be used for a short time even after
repeated discharge charge cycles,
it may have reached the end of its
service life
