Notes on Battery Usage
When you use the batteries, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions
and the notes described below:
„
„
Use only the specified batteries.
Avoid using the batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can
shorten the battery life and reduce digital camera performance.
Fully charge and discharge battery for one complete cycle prior to first use. Using
new rechargeable batteries, or batteries which have not been used for a long time,
without first charging/discharging may cause the battery life to be shorter than
optimum.
„
„
„
„
The batteries may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of the camera or
the flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.
The camera may feel warm after long periods of continuous use. This is normal and
not a malfunction.
If the batteries are not to be used for a long period of time, store them after the
battery power has been drained. If the batteries are stored for a long time in a fully
charged state, their perfomance may be impaired.
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
Always keep the battery terminals clean.
There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle instructions.
Charge the rechargeable batteries fully before the first use.
Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries.
Never use manganese batteries.
To prevent short-circuiting or fire, keep the batteries away from other metal objects
when carrying or storing.
