When you are using a new rechargeable battery or a rechargeable battery that has not been used for an extended period of time (a battery that has passed its expiry date is an exception), it may affect the number of images that can be captured. Therefore, to maximize its performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the battery and discharge it for at least one complete cycle before use.
■ The battery may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of the camera. This is normal and not a malfunction.
■ The camera may feel warm after a long period of continuous use. This is normal and not a malfunction.
If the battery is not to be used for a long period of time, remove it from the camera to prevent leakage or corrosion and store it after no battery power is left. Stored for a long time in a fully charged condition, its performance may be impaired.
■ Always keep the battery terminals clean.
■ There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
■ Dispose of the used battery in accordance with recycling instructions.
■ Charge the rechargeable battery fully before using for the first time.
