Notes on the Battery (NP-40N)
This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
NP-40N. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to make sure that you use the battery
correctly.
When shipped, the NP-
*
40N is not fully charged.
Always charge the NP-
40N before using it.
• When carrying the NP-
40N, install it in a digital
camera or keep it in the
soft case.
• When storing the NP-40N, place it inside the special soft
case provided.
Z Battery Features
• The NP-40N gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Charge a NP-40N just before taking pictures (in
the last day or two).
• To maximize the life of the NP-40N, turn the camera off
as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
• The number of available frames will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-40.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the NP-40N in your pocket or another warm
place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just
before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the
NP-40N directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-40N in cold conditions.

Z Charging the Battery
• You can charge the battery using the battery charger
(included).
• The NP-40N can be charged at ambient temperatures
between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an
ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes about
90 minutes to charge a fully depleted NP-40N battery.
• You should charge the NP-40N at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-40N at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because the
performance of the NP-40N is impaired.
• You cannot charge the NP-40N at temperatures of
0°C (+32°F) or below.
• The NP-40N does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
• The NP-40N may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged NP-40N.
Z Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the NP-40N can be used at least
300 times.
If the time for which the NP-40N provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-40N has reached the
end of its effective life. If this happens, purchase NP-40
and replace it.
