Digital Still Camera

Battery pack
Compatible battery pack
The NP-BN (supplied) or NP-BN1 (sold separately) can be used with the camera.
On charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the camera for the first time.
You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. In addition, even if the battery
pack is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery pack as is.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F
to 86°F). The battery pack may not be effectively charged in temperatures outside this range.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational
time of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend to ensure longer battery pack use: Put the battery
pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the camera immediately before you
start shooting. (If there are any metal objects such as keys in your pocket, be aware of short-circuits.)
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the zoom frequently.
We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two times or three times the expected shooting
time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
You may not be able to turn on the camera or the battery pack may not be effectively charged if the
terminal section of the battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a
cotton swab to clean the battery.
How to store the battery pack
Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store the camera in a cool, dry place. To maintain
the battery pack’s function, charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it in the camera at least
once a year while storing.
To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag, etc. to keep away
from metal materials when carrying or storing.
On battery life
The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If the
