Notes on Battery Usage
When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions and the notes described
below:
Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the battery performance.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and
reduce camera performance.
Using the new rechargeable battery or rechargeable battery that has not been used for an extended period
of time (the battery that passed the expiry date is an exception) might affect the number of pictures that can
be taken. 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 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 period of continuous use. This is normal and not a malfunction.
