For Your Safety
•  Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries 
with different charge levels, or batteries of 
different types.
•  If  the  camera  will  not  be  used  for  an 
extended  period,  remove  the  batteries.  
Note that the camera clock will be reset.
•  The  batteries  may  be  warm  to  the  touch 
immediately  after  use.    Turn  the  camera 
off  and  allow  the  batteries  to  cool  before 
handling.
•  Battery  capacity  tends  to  decrease  at  low 
temperatures.    Keep  spare  batteries  in  a

the affected area with water.  If fluid 
enters  your  eyes,  immediately  flush 
the  affected  area  with  water  and  seek 
medical attention.  Do not rub your eyes.  
Failure to observe this precaution could 
result in permanent visual impairment.
 ■ NiMH Batteries
The  capacity  of  Ni-MH  batteries  may  be 
temporarily  reduced  when  new,  after  long 
periods  of  disuse,  or  if  they  are  repeatedly 
recharged  before  being  fully  discharged.  
This  is  normal  and  does  not  indicate  a 
malfunction.    Capacity  can  be  increased  by 
repeatedly  discharging  the  batteries  using 
the  discharge  option  in  the  camera  setup 
menu  and  recharging  them  using  a  battery 
charger.
 Q CAUTION: Do not use the discharge option 
with alkaline batteries.
The camera draws a small amount of current 
even  when  off.    Ni-MH  batteries  that  have 
been  left  in  the  camera  for  an  extended 
period  may  be  drawn  down  to  the  point 
that  they  no  longer  hold  a  charge.    Battery 
performance  may  also  drop  if  the  batteries 
are run down in a device such as a flashlight.  
Use the discharge option in the camera setup 
menu to discharge Ni-MH batteries.  Batteries 
that  no  longer  hold  a  charge  even  after 
repeatedly  being  discharged  and  recharged 
have reached the end of their service life and 
must be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery 
charger  (sold  separately). 
  Batteries  may 
become  warm  to  the  touch  after  charging.  
Refer  to  the 
instructions  provided  with 
the  charger  for  more  information.    Use  the 
charger with compatible batteries only.
Ni-MH  batteries  gradually  lose  their  charge 
when not in use.
 ■ Disposal
CAUTION: Dispose of used batteries in accord 
with local regulations.
