On the InfoLITHIUM battery pack

You cannot use the battery pack other than the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (NP-FH50) for
this camera. There is the

mark on the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack.

The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is the lithium battery pack which has the information about
data communication of the battery usage.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates the power consumption depending on the camera
usage and shows the battery life on the minute time scale.

On charging the battery pack

Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the camera for the first time.
You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. In addition, even if
the battery pack is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery
pack as is.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to
30°C (50°F to 86°F). The battery pack may not be effectively charged in temperatures outside
this range.

Effective use of the battery pack

Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. 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.
(If there are any metal objects such as keys in your pocket, be aware of short-circuits.)

The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.
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.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct
sunlight.
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 is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft
cloth or a cotton swab to clean the battery.
