About “InfoLITHIUM”
battery pack (not
supplied)
What is the “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack?
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (not
supplied) is a lithium-ion battery pack that
has functions for communicating
information related to operating conditions
between your camera and the AC power
adaptor (not supplied).
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, 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 using the LCD panel or
frequently operating the zoom wears out
the battery pack faster.
• Be certain to turn the POWER 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.
• The
E mark indicating there is little
remaining battery time sometimes flashes
depending on the operating conditions or
ambient temperature and environment even
if the remaining battery time is 5 to
20 minutes.
How to store the battery pack
• Even if the battery pack is not used for a
long time, store it in a dry, cool place after
fully charging it once per year and then
using the battery pack up on your camera.
This is to maintain the battery pack’s
functions.
• To use the battery pack up on your camera,
leave the POWER to on in slide show
playback mode until the power goes off.
