Notes on Battery Usage
When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety
Instructions and the notes described below:
Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the battery
performance.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures
can shorten the battery life and reduce camera performance.
Using the new rechargeable battery or rechargeable battery that has not
been used for an extended period of time (the battery that passed the expiry
date is an exception) might affect the number of pictures that can be taken.
Therefore, to maximize its performance and lifetime, we recommend that you
fully charge the battery and discharge it for at least one complete cycle
before use.
The battery may feel warm after long period of continuous use of the camera
or the flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.
The camera may feel warm after long period of continuous use. This is
normal and not a malfunction.
If the battery is not to be used for a long period of time, remove it from the
camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
If the battery is not to be used for a long period of time, store it after no
battery power left. If the battery is stored for a long time in a fully charged
state, its performance may be impaired.
Always keep the battery terminals in a clean state.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
