Cautions concerning the nickel metal hydride
batteries
œ Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals of the nickel metal hydride
batteries ((+) and (–)) and the terminals located in the battery compartment
of the digital camera.
Do not touch the battery terminals or the terminals in the battery
compartment of the digital camera with your bare hands. Doing so will allow
contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize,
increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the
usable life of the batteries will diminish.
œ If you repeatedly remove the nickel metal hydride batteries before they run
out and recharge them, or place them into the digital camera before they
are fully recharged, then a “memory effect”* may occur.
œ Your digital camera is designed to handle the effects from voltage
fluctuations caused by the “memory effect” of nickel metal hydride
batteries. Nevertheless, there are times when the remaining charge
indicator may show èç or êç earlier than usual. If any symptoms such
as these occur, first discharge the batteries completely (see page 172) and
then recharge them until they are fully charged.
* Memory effect
Memory effect is a phenomenon where the battery performance
temporarily decreases. In general, the battery voltage during use drops
below its normal voltage until it is fully discharged and recharged again.
