Preparation
We recommend charging the batteries after
they are fully discharged. If you charge the
batteries before they are fully discharged,
it can reduce battery performance. This is
called “memory effect”.
If “memory effect” occurs, continue using
the batteries until the camera stops
working and then charge them fully.
Battery performance will be restored after
a few charges and discharges.
Over time Ni-MH batteries naturally
discharge and their capacity lowers even
when they are not used.
Once the batteries have reached full
charge, do not continue to charge them.
Do not peel off or scratch the covering on
Ni-MH batteries.
Read the operating instructions for the
battery charger.
Ni-MH batteries have a limited life. Battery
capacity gradually decreases over time. If
the length of time you can use the camera
is extremely short even after fully charging
the batteries, they may have exceeded
their life span. Purchase new batteries.
Battery life differs depending on the
conditions of storage and usage and the
environment.
When not using the batteries for a long
period of time
If the batteries are left in the camera they
will discharge. This is because a small
electrical current continues to flow even
when the camera is turned off. If the
batteries continue to be left in the camera,
they will discharge excessively and may
become unusable even if charged.
When storing the batteries for a long
period of time, we recommend charging
them once a year. Remove the batteries
from the camera and store them again
after they have completely discharged.
