Battery pack
On charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack before using the camera for the first time.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to
86°F) until the CHG (Charge) lamp turns off. The battery pack may not be effectively charged in
temperatures outside this range.
The CHG (Charge) lamp may blink in the following situation:
Battery pack is not attached correctly.
Battery pack is damaged.
Temporal suspension of charging due to ambient temperature beyond appropriate temperature range.
When the battery pack temperature is low, detach the battery pack and place it in warm surroundings.
When the battery pack temperature is high, detach the battery pack and place it in cool surroundings.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery pack performance decreases in low temperature surroundings (less than 10°C (50°F)). So in cold
places, the operational time of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend the following to ensure longer
battery pack use: Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the
camera immediately before you start shooting.
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the playback, fast-forward, and fast-rewind frequently.
Turn off the camera every time you do not shoot or playback on the camera. Battery pack is wearing out
when the shooting is in standby.
We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two times or three times the expected shooting
time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
You may not be able to turn on the camera or the battery pack may not be effectively charged if the
terminal section of the battery pack is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust with a soft cloth lightly to clean
the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
About the remaining battery charge
If the battery pack runs out so fast although the remaining charge indicator is high, fully charge the
battery pack again. Remaining charge indicator will be displayed correctly. Note that it may not be
displayed correctly in the following situations:
Using the camera for a long time in high temperature
Leaving the camera with fully charged battery pack
Using a heavily used battery pack
How to store the battery pack
Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain the battery
pack’s function, fully charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it on the camera at least once a
year while storing.
To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag to keep away from
metal materials when carrying or storing.
On battery pack life
The battery pack life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If
decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new
one.
The battery pack life varies according to how a battery pack is used.
