About “InfoLITHIUM”
battery pack
What is the “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack?
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has
functions for communicating
information related to operating
conditions between your camera and
the AC power adaptor.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
calculates the power consumption
according to the operating conditions
of your camera, and displays the
remaining battery time in minutes.
Charging the battery pack
• Be sure to charge the battery pack
before you start using your camera.
• 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 lamp goes out,
indicating that the battery pack is
fully charged. If you charge the
battery pack outside of this
temperature range, you may not be
able to efficiently charge the battery
pack.
• After charging is completed, either
disconnect the AC power adaptor
from the DC IN jack on your camera
or remove the battery pack.
Effective use of the battery pack
• Battery performance decreases in
low-temperature surroundings. So,
the time that the battery pack can be
used is shorter in cold places. We
recommend the following to use the
battery pack longer:
— Put the battery pack in a pocket
close to your body to warm it up,
and insert it in your camera
immediately before you start
taking shots.
• Frequently operating the zoom wears
out the battery pack faster.
• Be certain to turn the POWER switch
to off when not taking shots or
playing back on your camera.
• We recommend having spare
batteries handy for two or three times
the expected shooting time, and make
a trial shots before taking the actual
shots.
• Do not expose the battery pack to
water. The battery pack is not water-
resistant.
Remaining battery time indicator
• If the power goes off although the
battery remaining indicator indicates
that the battery pack has enough
power to operate, charge the battery
pack fully again so that the indication
on the battery remaining indicator is
correct. Note, however, that the
correct battery indication sometimes
will not be restored if it is used in
high temperatures for a long time or
left in a fully charged state, or the
battery pack is frequently used.
Regard the remaining battery time
indication as the approximate
shooting time.
