• The battery charge will quickly get used up and the actual remaining battery charge will be
lower than the indicator in the following cases:
– When you use the camera in an extremely hot or cold location.
– When you use the flash and zoom frequently.
– When you repeatedly turn the power on and off.
– When you set the screen brightness higher using DISP (screen display) settings.
• A discrepancy arose between the remaining charge indicator and the actual remaining battery
charge. Fully discharge the battery pack once, then charge it to correct the indication.

• The battery pack is dead. Replace it with a new one.

• The temperature may be inappropriate for charging. Try charging the battery pack again
within the proper charging temperature range (10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F)).
